Question

Ron scored $344$ marks out of $400$ marks and his elder brother Ben scored $582$ marks out of $600$ marks. Who scored percentage is better?

Answer 1

Percentage of marks scored by Ron $=(\frac{344}{400}\times 100)$%

$=\left(\frac{34400}{400}\right)\%$

$=\left(\frac{344}{4}\right)\%$

$=86\%$

Percentage of marks scored by Ben = $(\frac{582}{600}\times 100)$ %

$=\left(\frac{58200}{600}\right)\%$

$=\frac{582}{6}\%$

$=97\%$

Hence, the percentage marks scored by Ben is better.
