Question

Arthur answered 85 out of 95 questions correctly on his math exam. Miguel answered 64 out of 76 questions correctly on his history exam. Which student revived the higher score? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

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 that we have to add 5, do the same thing with 85. Add 5 to 85 and you get 90. That means Arthur got  90% For Miguel 64 from  76. Covert 76 to 100. That means we have to add 24. Do the same thing with 64. Add 24 + 64. It equals 88% Miguel got 88%
