I am not sure how to handle the 7 who failed all three.
There is a problem with 2 passed in both English and French and 15 passed in all three subjects
They contradict each other.
Where I have 17 there should be 2 if we took the wording as stated.
So first only those who passed

Now with the 7 failed
