score out of 150?​

Answer 1

Answer:

benu 75÷150 × 100

benu 50%

neena 150÷ 6 ×100

25

Answer 2

Neena scored 78 marks and highest score is 87 marks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total marks = 150,

Benu scores = 75,

His/her percentage = $\frac{75}{150}\times 100$ = $\frac{100}{2}$ = 50%,

∵Neena scored 2% more than Benu,

So, her percentage = 50 + 2 = 52%,

Hence, her score = 52% of total marks

= 52% of 150

$=\frac{52\times 150}{100}$

$=\frac{52\times 6}{4}$

$=13\times 6$

= 78,

Now, the highest score was 6% more than Neena's score,

i.e. highest percentage = 52% + 6% = 58%,

Thus, highest score = 58% of 150

$=\frac{58\times 150}{100}$

$=\frac{58\times 3}{2}$

$=29\times 3$

= 87
