Question

Arthur answered 85 out of 95 questions correctly on ms math exam. Miguel answered 64 out of 76 questions correctly on his history exam. Which student received the higher score?

Answer 1

Arthur got more marks then Miguel.

Explanation:

For this type of question, we have to take out the percentage of each candidate:

For Arthur:

`85` from `95`

Convert `95` to `100`:

That means we have to add `5`. Do the same thing with `85`:

`85+5=90`

That means Arthur got `90%`.

For Miguel:

`64` from `76`

Convert `76` to `100`:

That means we have to add `24`. Do the same thing with `64`:

`64+24=88`

That means Miguel got `88%`.

From the above result it is evident that Arthur got more marks then Miguel.
