In a class, 60% of the students are boys and the rest are girls.
If 40% of the boys and 50% of the girls passed a test, what percentage of the total students passed the test?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Let the total number of students be 100.
Boys = 60% = 60
Girls = 40% = 40
Boys who passed = 40% of 60 = 24
Girls who passed = 50% of 40 = 20
Total students who passed = 24 + 20 = 44
Therefore, the pass percentage among total students = 44/100 × 100 = 44%
