Question

Ramu scored 20 out of 25 marks in English, 30 out of 40 marks in Science and 68 out of 80 marks in mathematics. In which subject his percentage of marks is best?

Answer 1

Ramu’s score in English = 20 out of 25 

Percentage scored in English = \(\frac{20}{25}\) x 100 % 

= 80 % 

Ramu’s Score in Science = 30 out of 40 

Percentage scored in Science = \(\frac{30}{40}\) x 100 % 

= 75 % 

Ramu’s score in Mathematics = 68 out of 80 

Percentage scored in Maths = \(\frac{68}{80}\) x 100 % 

= 85 % 

85% > 80% > 75%. 

∴ In Mathematics his percentage of marks is the best.
