Amelia, Hayden and Sophie did a test. The total for the test was 75 marks.
Amelia got 56% of the 75 marks.
Hayden got 8/15 of the 75 marks.
Sophie got 43 out of the 75 marks.
Who got the highest score
amelias mark is 42
haydens mark is 40 so sophie has the higher score
To determine who got the highest score, we need to compare the scores of Amelia, Hayden, and Sophie.
First, let's calculate the individual scores:
1. Amelia got 56% of the 75 marks. To find her score, we will multiply 75 by 0.56:
Amelia's score = 75 x 0.56 = 42 marks.
2. Hayden got 8/15 of the 75 marks. To find Hayden's score, we can multiply 75 by (8/15):
Hayden's score = 75 x (8/15) = 40 marks.
3. Sophie got 43 out of 75 marks, which is a direct score.
Comparing the scores, we can see that:
- Amelia scored 42 marks.
- Hayden scored 40 marks.
- Sophie scored 43 marks.
Therefore, Sophie got the highest score with 43 marks.
To determine who got the highest score, we need to compare the scores of Amelia, Hayden, and Sophie.
First, let's calculate the scores of each individual:
Amelia: She got 56% of the 75 marks, so her score is (56/100) * 75 = 42 marks.
Hayden: He got 8/15 of the 75 marks, so his score is (8/15) * 75 = 40 marks.
Sophie: She got 43 out of the 75 marks, so her score is 43 marks.
Now, we can compare the scores:
Amelia: 42 marks
Hayden: 40 marks
Sophie: 43 marks
From the given scores, we can see that Sophie got the highest score with 43 marks.
Convert fractions to percentages and sort results.
8 / 15 = 0.53333... = 53.333... %
43 / 75 = 0.57333... = 57.333...%
Sophie got the highest score.
