​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Amelia got 56% of 75 so

(56/100)*75=(56*75)/100=4200/100=42

Hayden got 8/15 of 75 so

(8/15)*75=(8*75)/15=600/15=40

and Sophie that got 43 out of 75

so we see that Sophie got the highest points.

Answer 2

Given parameters:

Total test score = 75marks

Percentage of Amelia score = 56%

Fraction of Hayden's score =
`(8)/(15)`

Sophie's score = 43marks

Unknown:

The person with the highest score = ?

Solution:

Since total score = 75marks;

Amelia's score =
`(56)/(100) x 75` = 42marks

Hayden's score =
`(8)/(15) x 75` = 40marks

Sophie's score = 43 marks

The person with the highest score is Sophie with a mark of 43.
