Question

In a test, Josh scored 19 out of 25. Shannah calculated that she beat Josh by 8%. What was Shannah’s mark?

Answer 1

Answer:

Shannah's marks = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Josh's total marks = 19

Josh's percentage =

$\frac{19 }{25} \times 100$

= 76%

Shannah scored 8% more than Josh

Therefore Shannah's scored (76+8)% = 84%

Therefore Shannah's marks = 84% of 25

$= \frac{84}{100} \times 25$

= 21

Therefore Shannah scored 21 marks (Answer)
