Given that:

• 16% passed in Math.

,

• 55% passed in English.

,

• 40% passed in both subjects.

You can use that data to make a Ven Diagram. You can use two circles. One represents Math and the other one represents English:

The percentage of students who failed both subjects can be found as follows:


100-(P(Math)+P(English)-P(Math\text{ }and\text{ }English))

Where "P" means "probability of".

You can determine that:


P(Math\text{ }and\text{ }English)=P(Math)+P(English)
100-(16\text{\%}+55\text{\%}-40\text{\%})=69\text{\%}

Hence, the answer is:


69\text{\%}
