What is the percentage of failure if a student scores 80% in English and 85% in Math, if in both subject got the passing percentage is 75%?
Answer: 8%
Explanation
Determine how much the student scored above the passing percentage for each subject:
1: English:
80%−75%=5%
The student scored 5% above the passing percentage.
2: Math:
85%−75%=10%
The student scored 10% above the passing percentage.
3: Calculate the average percentage by which the student exceeded the passing percentage:
Average percentage above passing=
5%+10% /2 =7.5%
If we round this to the nearest whole number, it would be approximately 8%.
