a) 10% b) 16% c) 22% d) 25%
Solution
Male Female Total
120 100 220
Engineering students 120×25% = 30 100×20% =20 30+20 = 50
Passed in final exam 30×20% = 6 20×25% = 5 6+5 =11
11
Percentage of engineering students passed the exam = ×100% = 22%
50
Another way (Presentation)
Engineering students male = 120× 25% = 30
Engineering students female = 100 × 20% = 20
Passed in final exam male = 30 × 20% = 6
Passed in final exam female = 20 × 25% = 5
Total passed students = 5 + 6 = 11

Percentage of engineering students passed the exam = × 100% = 22%
