Answer 1

To find the percentage score for Jude, we need to divide the number of points scored by the total number of points and multiply the result by 100. This can be written as:

Percentage score for Jude = (10/35) * 100 = 28.57%

To find the percentage score for Tom, we need to divide the number of points scored by the total number of points and multiply the result by 100. This can be written as:

Percentage score for Tom = (18/46) * 100 = 39.13%

Since Tom scored a higher percentage of points compared to Jude, Tom got the highest score.
