Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the total number of students in the class, which is 200, and the number of students who passed the exam, which is 134.
2. To find the percentage of students who passed, set up the fraction representing the part over the whole: \(\frac{134}{200}\).
3. Convert this fraction to a percentage by multiplying it by 100: \(\left(\frac{134}{200}\right) \times 100\).
4. Perform the multiplication and division in the expression to find the percentage value (do not calculate the final number here, just set up the expression).
5. Interpret the result as the percent of the class that passed the exam.
