​

Answer 1

Given parameters:

  Total test score = 75marks

 Percentage of Amelia score  = 56%

 Fraction  of Hayden's score = $\frac{8}{15}$

  Sophie's score  = 43marks

Unknown:

The person with the highest score  = ?

Solution:

  Since total score = 75marks;

Amelia's score = $\frac{56}{100} x 75$   = 42marks

 Hayden's score = $\frac{8}{15} x 75$   = 40marks

 Sophie's score  = 43 marks

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

Answer 2

Step-by-step 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.
