Solution

To solve this problem, we need to add the percentage of students who passed in Mathematics and Science, and then subtract the percentage of students who passed in both subjects (to avoid double-counting those students).

So, the calculation would be:

60% (Mathematics) + 70% (Science) - 45% (Both)

= 130% - 45%

= 85%

So, 85% of the students passed in at least one of the subjects.
