Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

First lets establish the key points

We know she needs 75% to pass and she gets 4/5 of the marks

Lets make 4/5 a decimal 4/5 X 2/2 is 8/10 better know as .8

.75 = 75%

.8 = 80%

80% > 75%

Meaning She PASSED!!!

Answer 2

Yes, she passes with 80%

Explanation:

4 divided by 5 = 0.8

0.8 multiplied by 100 = 80%

80% is greater than the required 75% needed to pass
