Answer 1

Answer:

The Student performed better in Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage scored in Mathematics = 150/200 x 100 = 75 %

Percentage scored in Science = 120/180 x 100 = 66.66 %

The Student performed better in Mathematics

The answer is option A

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to find the percentage in order to compare the two as they are different denominators. You could also use decimals but I think you are less likely to be innacurate with percentages.

Maths-

(150/200)×100%

= 75%

Science

( 120/180)×100%

≈ 66.67% (2dp)

∴ The student performed bettr in maths since 75% > 66.67%
