Solution

The question in the image reads:

"In a class of 30 students, 80% of students failed in the examination. How many students passed in this examination?"

Let's solve it.

Solution:

  1. Total number of students = 30
  2. Percentage of students who failed = 80%

Since 80% of the students failed, the remaining 20% of students passed.

  1. Percentage of students who passed = 100% - 80% = 20%

  2. Number of students who passed = Total students×Percentage of students who passed100\text{Total students} \times \frac{\text{Percentage of students who passed}}{100}

    = 30 \times 0.2 = 6$$

Answer:

6 students passed in the examination.
