In a class of thirty two boys, sixteen passed an examination and four were absent while the rest students faileD. What percentage of the whole class failed?
A. 37.5 B. 50 C. 42.86 D. 57.14
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
The number of students who failed the exam is the total number of students minus those who passed and those who were absent: \(32 - 16 - 4 = 12\). To find the percentage of the class that failed, divide the number who failed by the total number of students and multiply by \(100\): \(\frac{12}{32} \times 100 = 37.5\)%.
