Deepak scored $35$ out of $40$ in a mental Maths Drill and $78$ out of $90$ in his Science Drill. Calculate the percentage he score in both the subject. In which subject did he performed better?

Answer 1

• Step 1 : Let's find the percentage of score that he made in Maths drill.

Percentage of score

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{35}{40}\times 100 \\ =\frac{7}{8}\times 100 \\ =87.5\% \end{gathered}$$

• Step 2 : Let's find the percentage of score that he made in Science drill.

Percentage of score

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{78}{90}\times 100 \\ =\frac{78}{9}\times 10 \\ =86.67\% \end{gathered}$$

Hence, from the above percentages, it is evident that he performed well in Maths drill since he scored $87.5\%$ here than $86.67\%$for science drill.
