Question

Mr. Klinger said that 14 out of 25 students passed the test. What percent did NOT pass the test?

Answer 1

Set up the proportion 14/25 = x/100

Cross multiply.

1400 = 25x

Divide by 25.

56 = x

So, 56% of students passed the test, which means (100-56)% = 44% did NOT pass.

44% of the students did not pass the test.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

44%

Explanation:

14/25x100=56
