To find the pass percentage of the entire school, we need to calculate the weighted average of the pass percentages of each class. The weight of each class is determined by the number of students in that class.
Let's calculate:
Pass percentage of Class 1 (10 students, 20% pass rate): 10 students * 20% = 2 students pass
Pass percentage of Class 2 (20 students, 30% pass rate): 20 students * 30% = 6 students pass
Pass percentage of Class 3 (30 students, 60% pass rate): 30 students * 60% = 18 students pass
Pass percentage of Class 4 (40 students, 100% pass rate): 40 students * 100% = 40 students pass
Total number of students: 10 + 20 + 30 + 40 = 100 students
Total number of students who passed: 2 + 6 + 18 + 40 = 66 students
Pass percentage of the entire school: (66 students / 100 students) * 100% = 66%
Therefore, the pass percentage of the entire school is 66%.
The correct answer is D. 66%.
10x20%=2
20×30%=6
30×60%=18
40×100%=40
2+6+18+40=66
2+6+18+40 = 66 ????
