Question

Eighteen students passed the Science Test. If 18 students is 72% of the total number of students in the class, how many students are in the class?

Answer 1

There are 25 students in the class

Answer 2

There are 25 students in the class.

Explanation:

Let the total number of students in the class= x

No. of students who passed the test = 18 = 72% of x = 72x/100

Therefore, 72x/100=18

=72x=18*100=1800

=x=1800/72= 25 students.

Hence, total number of students in the class= 25 students
