Question

Tion 15/30

Answer 1

The percentage of students that passed the exam is 25.2%

The given parameters;

• number of the males, = 85

• number of the females, = 30

• percentage of the female that passed = 40%

• percentage of the male that passed, = 20%

To find:

• the percentage of students that passed the exam

The number of the male students that pass the exam;

$= 0.2 \times 85 \\\\= 17$

The number of the female students that pass the exam;

$= 0.4 \times 30 \\\\= 12$

The total number of students in the school;

= 85 + 30

= 115

The total number of the students that passed the exam;

= 17 + 12

= 29

The percentage of students that passed the exam;

$= \frac{total \ number \ that \ passed }{total \ number \ of \ the \ students} \times 100\% \\\\= \frac{29}{115} \times 100\%\\\\= 25.2 \%$

Thus, the percentage of students that passed the exam is 25.2%
