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.
