1100 boys and 700 girls are examined in a test , 42% of the boys and 30% of the girls pass . The percentage of the total who failed is
Total number of students = 1100 + 700 = 1800
Number of students passed = (42% of 1100 + 30% of 700) = (462 + 210)= 672
Number of failures = 1800 - 672 = 1128.
`:.` percentage failure = `(1128/1800 xx 100)`% = `62 2/3`%.
