#\approx 20.34%#

Explanation:

To find the percentage of students that did not pass, we simplify the following expression, perform long division to convert to a decimal and then multiply by 100:

#frac{(28-20) + (31-27)}{(28 + 31)}#

#frac{8 + 4}{59} = frac{12}{59} \approx .20339... \approx 20.34%#
