Set up two simultaneous equation
x the number of students who pass the test
Y the number of students who fail
X + Y = 90
84X + 60Y = (80*90)
Y = 90 - X
84X + 60(90 - X) = 7200
24X = 1800
X = 75
The solution is E
x the number of students who pass the test
Y the number of students who fail
X + Y = 90
84X + 60Y = (80*90)
Y = 90 - X
84X + 60(90 - X) = 7200
24X = 1800
X = 75
The solution is E
