The remaining students participated in the quiz. What percentage of students participated in the quiz?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e 58.5%.

Understanding

Let the total number of students in the class = 100

% of students participated in folk = 22% of 100 = 22

Remaining students = 100 - 22 = 78

No of students in Kathak = 25% of 78 = 19.5

Remaining students = 100 - (22 + 19.5) = 58.5

Number of students who = participated in the quiz = 58.5

Percentage of students who participated in the quiz = (58.5 ÷ 100) × 100 = 58.5%
