Question

Ram scored 553 marks out of 700 and Gita scored 486 marks out of 600 in Science. Whose performance is better?

Answer 1

Given: Marks scored by Ram = 553
Percentage of marks scored by Ram
$=\frac{553}{700}\times 100\%$
$=0.79\times 100\%=79\%$

Also, given that marks scored by Gita = 486
Percentage of marks scored by Gita
$=\frac{486}{600}\times 100\%$
$=0.81\times 100\%=81\%$

Therefore, Gita’s performance (81%) is better than Ram’s (79%).
