Answer : 3. "6000"
Explanation :
Let's denote the total number of students who appeared in the examination as 𝑥x.
Given that 92% of the students passed, it means 8% failed because the total percentage is 100%.
We can set up the equation:
8% of 𝑥=4808% of x=480To find 8% of 𝑥x, we multiply 𝑥x by 81001008 (which is the same as multiplying by 0.08):
0.08𝑥=4800.08x=480Now, we can solve for 𝑥x:
𝑥=4800.08x=0.08480𝑥=6000x=6000So, 6000 students appeared in the examination.
