Question

Andy scores 48 out of 75 in a science test and thinks he has done better than Brandon, who has scored 65%.

Is Andy correct?
You must show all your working.

Answer 1

No, Andy is wrong

Explanation:

percentage of Andy: 48 divided by 75 = 0.64 multiplied by 100 which comes out to be 64%

`(48)/(75) * 100 = 64`

So he has scored less than Brandon

Answer 2

No. Brandon has done better than Andy because Andy scored a 64%, when Brandon scored a 65%
