Answer :

The most common scenario was the low-fuel landing. It was there in 25 % of the tests. The number of tests was 25+115=140 tests (adding up the failed and passed test.

So to find our how many were trained in the most common scenario, we have to calculate25% of 140.

25/100*140=(i calculate frist 25/100. I divide both by 25, we have 1/4)
1/4*140 = In order to calculate this, we need to divide 140/4. This is:

  35
____
140:4
 12
   20
   20
   ==


so the correct answer is 35.

Answer: b is the right answer 35
