In a test of class ten, 75% of students passed in mathematics and 65% in science. What is the percentage of students who passed in both subjects?


Given:

 Percentage of students passed in mathematics = 75%

Percentage of students passed in science = 65%

To find:

The number of students passed in both subjects


Solution:

 75% of students passed in mathematics, which means out of 100, 75 students passed.

65% of students passed in science, which means out of 100, 65 students passed.

So, number of students passed in both subjects  =  75 + 65

% of students passed in both subjects = $\frac{75 + 65} {200}  =  \frac{140 }{200}$

$\frac{140 }{200} =  \frac{70}{100}$  


So, 70 % of students passed in both subjects.
