Question

If 120 learners took an examination, passes to fail is 17:3 : what percentage of learners passed​

Answer 1

85%

Explanation:

First, let's add up the ratios and use it to divide 120. That way we can find out how many people each ratio is.

17 +3 = 20

120/20 = 6

Each individual ratio is equal to 6.

17 * 6 = 102

3 * 6 = 18

102/120 = percentage of who passed

= 0.85

85 percent of learners passed.
