Respuesta :
Wouldn’t you do 85%x46=x then x - 46? Cause I did that and got 6.9 but how can 0.9 of a student not pass?
7 students did not pass the exam
if there are 46 students who took the chemistry exam and 85 % of the students pass the exam then the remaining 15% must have failed or did not pass the exam. Now we convert the percentage of students who failed to the numerical value.
now 15% of 46 = 46×15/100 = 6.9
but obviously, there cannot be 6.9 students. So the answer is that 7 students did not pass the chemistry exam.
