Given:

The number of students appeared in exam from school A = 600

The number of students appeared in exam from school B = 720

The number of students appeared in exam from school C = 428

The number of students appeared in exam from school D = 920

The number of students appeared in exam from school E = 1100

Concept:

Calculation:​

According to the question

The failed students in school A = 600 - 320 = 280

The failed students in school B = 720 - 400 = 320

The failed students in school C = 428 - 312 = 116

The failed students in school D = 920 - 480 = 440

The failed students in school E = 1100 - 640 = 460

The sum of all appeared students in schools = 600 + 720 + 428 + 920 + 1100 = 3768

The sum of all failed students in schools = 280 + 320 + 116 + 440 + 460 = 1616

The required percentage =

∴ The required result will be approximately 44%.
