Question #91423

Answer 1

`75%` of the students passed the test.

Explanation:

If `8` students out of `32` failed the test, it means that `(32-8)` or `24` passed the test.

To calculate the percentage value `(x)`, we write the equation:

`32xxx/100=24`

Multiply both sides by `100/32`.

`x=24xx100/32`

`x=3cancel24xx100/(4cancel32)`

`x=3xx(25cancel100)/(1cancel4)`

`x=3xx25`

`x=75`
