Question

If 25 students took an exam and 4 of them failed, what percent of them passed?

Answer 1

If 25 students took an exam and 4 of the students that took the exam failed, what percent of the students passed?

To find out how many students passed, we can subtract 4 from 25 and we will get a difference of 21.

The fraction
`(21)/(25)` represents the number of students who passed the exam out of all the students.

To find out what percent of the students passed, we can turn
`(21)/(25)` into a percent.

21 ÷ 25 = 0.84

0.84 × 100 = 84%

Therefore, 84% of the students who took the exam passed.
