Question

Tony scored 17marks out of 20. His friend Peter scored 40 marks out of 50.Whose performane is better

Answer 1

Answer:

• Tony's performance is better.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• Tony scored 17 marks out of 20.
• His friend Peter scored 40 marks out of 50.

Formula used:

• Total percent marks obtained = (Obtained marks × 100)/(Total marks) %

Finding the total percent marks obtained by Tony:

• Total percent marks obtained = (17 × 100)/20 %
• Total percent marks obtained = 1700/20 %
• Total percent marks obtained = 85 %

Finding the total percent marks obtained by Peter:

• Total percent marks obtained = (40 × 100)/50 %
• Total percent marks obtained = 4000/50 %
• Total percent marks obtained = 80 %

We get that:

Tony's performance is better than Peter as Tony gets 85% marks and Peter gets 80% marks.
