Answer 1

In this case, you need to find the percentage each student got, then find who received a higher score.

First Step: $\frac{85}{95}$ (and) $\frac{64}{76}$
Second step: Divide each fraction → ≈ 0.8947 (and) ≈ 0.8421
Third Step: Multiply each decimal by 100. → 89.47% (and) 84.21%

Fourth Step: As 89.47% is greater, Author got an higher score.
