Question
240 candidates appeared for an examination, of which 204 passed. What is the pass percentage?
Solution
We find the pass percentage using unitary method.
| Total number of students | Number of students passed |
| 240 | 204 |
| 100 | = `(204 xx 100)/240` |
| = `(51 xx 100)/60` | |
| = `(17 xx 10)/2` | |
| = 85 |
∴ Pass percentage for the examination is 85%.
