In an exam, out of the total number of appeared students, 93 percent students passed and 9275 students failed. What is the total number of students who appeared in the exam?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 132500.
Given that
The percentage of students who passed the exam = 93 %
Hence the percentage of students who failed the exam = 100 - 93 = 7%
The number of students who failed the exam is given = 9275
Let the total number of students who appeared for the exam be 'y'
According to the question
× y = 9275
⇒ y = = 132500
Hence, the total number of students who appeared for the exam was 132500
