In an examination, 35% of the students passed and 455 failed.
How many students appeared for the examination?

Answer Posted / naveen singh

Let no. of student attempted exam = x
Total student failed = 455
% of student passed = 65% (100%-35%)
Therefore:

65% of x = 455
65/100 of x = 455
x = 455*100/65
x = 700

so, 700 is the total number of student attempted the exam.

Is This Answer Correct ?    20 Yes 6 No
