Answer:liz scored better

Explanation:

Liz scored better because how to find a percentage is dividing whatever two numbers you have by each other so it would be 47 / 50 which equals 0.94 then you times it by 100. Which would equal 94% which is better than a 92 which means Liz got the higher score

Answer: Liz
To find the percent Liz got correct, you would do 47/50 to get 0.94. You would then move the decimal 2 places to get 94%.
