If 25 students took an exam and 4 of the students that took the exam failed, what percent of the students passed?
To find out how many students passed, we can subtract 4 from 25 and we will get a difference of 21.
The fraction [tex]\frac{21}{25}[/tex] represents the number of students who passed the exam out of all the students.
To find out what percent of the students passed, we can turn [tex]\frac{21}{25}[/tex] into a percent.
21 ÷ 25 = 0.84
0.84 × 100 = 84%
Therefore, 84% of the students who took the exam passed.
