It'll be thankful if someone can help me and explain it the best way they could.. Don't come for the points please and thanks..

Answer 1

2 students failed the test.

Explanation:

There are 40 students and 95% passed. 95% is also equal to 0.95. Since we are looking for the students who failed, subtract 1.00 - 0.95. You get 0.05. The percentage of students who failed is 5%. Multiply 0.05 times 40 to get 2. This is the amount of students who failed.
