Total students=90
Student passed =P

A certain class of 90 students took a typing proficiency test. The average (arithmetic mean) score of the students who passed the test was 84, and the average score of the students who failed the test was 60. If the average score of all students was 80, how many students passed the test?

A. 15

B. 20

C. 42

D. 70

E. 75


We can use allegation method here


total students 90


90/6 = 15

Students passed the exam = 5*15 = 75

E is the correct answer.
