Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
First, calculate the number of girls who passed. In 2019, 42% of 800 girls passed: 800 × 0.42 = 336. Next, calculate the number of boys who passed. In 2019, 60% of boys failed, so 40% passed. 800 × 0.40 = 320. Finally, add the number of passed girls and boys: 336 + 320 = 656.
