In a class of 1500 students, the percentage of girls is 30%. If 80% of the boys failed the examination, find t he number of boys
who passed in the examination.
Explanation:
- The total number of students in the class is 1500.
- 30% of 1500 are girls, which equals 450 girls.
- Subtracting the number of girls from the total gives us the number of boys: 1500 - 450 = 1050 boys.
- 80% of boys failed the exam.
- 20% of boys passed since 100% - 80% = 20%.
- Calculate the number of boys who passed: 20% of 1050 = 0.2 * 1050 = 210 boys.
- 210 is the correct number of boys who passed.
- Option 2, which says 210, is the correct choice.
Option 2: 210 is the right answer.
