You can put this solution on YOUR website!
So 84% of the class which has 64 students will receive a passing grade...
Ok to get 84% into a decimal we divide 84 by 100 to get: 0.84
Then we need to multiply 0.84*64 to get: 53.76
Since you can have 53.76 students we need to round off our answer to get: 54
So 54 students will get a passing grade
