Answer:

The percentage (score) obtained by Ria is 78%

Explanation:

The given percentage Raj obtained in the exam = 51%

The marks Raj obtained = 459 marks

The marks Ria obtained in the same exam = 702

The percentage obtained by Ria is given as follows

Let x represent the total score of the exam, we have;

51% of x = 459

Therefore;

51/100 × x = 459

x = 459 × 100/51 = 900

The total score in the exam = 900

The percentage score obtained by Ria is therefore given as follows;

Ria's percentage score = (Ria's raw score/(The total score of the exam)) × 100 = (702/900) × 100 = 78%

Therefore, the percentage (score) obtained by Ria = 78%.
