In a certain class of students, 25% received A’s on the final exam and 2/3 of these students received A’s in the class as a whole. If 15 students in the class received A’s on the final exam but did not receive an A in the class, how many students did not receive an A on the final exam?
A. 45
B. 60
C. 105
D. 135
E. 180
Let the total number of students in the class be
xStudents with A
=0.25xStudents with not an A
=0.75xNow, Students with an A in the class
=23(0.25x)So, Students with not an A in the class
=13(0.25x)=150.25x=45x=180Therefore, Students with not an A
=0.75x=0.75(180)=135Hence, option D
