Question

There were 18 students in a class taking a test. 4 students did pass the test. What percent did not pass the test.

Answer 1

Percent of students who did not pass the test = 77.8%

Step-by-step explanation

The percent of an event is given as

`\begin{gathered} \text{Percent of an event} \\ =\frac{\text{Number of elements in the event}}{Total\text{ number of elements}}*100 \end{gathered}`

For this question,

Percent of the event = Percent who did not pass the test = ?

Number of elements in the event

= Number of students who did not pass the test

= (Total number of students) - (Number of students who passed the test)

= 18 - 4

= 14

Total number of elements = Total number of students in the class = 18

Percent of students who did not pass the test

= (14/18) × 100%

= 0.778 × 100%

= 77.8%

Hope this Helps!!!
