Thirty-two students took a nationwide exam and all the students from New York passed it. If the students from New York made up exactly 5% of the total number of students that passed the test, how many students passed it and how many students were from New York?

Socrates

The number of passing grades is also a whole number less than 32, and 5% of it is also a whole number of passing grades. It can only be 20. If 20 is the number of passing grades, the number of students from New York that took the test is one. Nov 05 02, 11:52 AM
