You can  put this solution on YOUR website! In a school of 850 boys, 153 of them were unable to pass a physical test. What percentage passed ?
 
10% = 85 boys
 
5% = 42.5 boys
 
1% = 8.5 boys
 
2% = 17 boys
 
4% = 34 boys
 
8% = 68 boys
 
Therefore:
 
85 + 68 = 153 boys, that is 18%.
 
100% - 18% = 82%
 
 
 
Answer:
 
82%
