If failing 1 or more tests results in an overall fail, then.....
27% failed both, so (30-27)%=3% failed History but not Geography
and (35-27)%=8% failed Geography but not History.
Hence, (27+3+8)%=38% of the students failed the exam.
62% of the students passed which is 248.
1% of the students is $\displaystyle \frac{248}{62}=4$
Hence, 100% of the students is how many?
