Question

Answer 1

To find the number of children who passed in an examination.

It is given that number of children $=1700$

Percentage of the children pass $=85\%$

Now find $85\%$ of $1700$

$85\%$ of $1700$$=\frac{85}{100}\times 1700$

$=85\times 17$

$=1445$

Hence, the number of passed children were $1,445$
