Based on the point distribution stated in the sentence, the person with the largest possible score is 54 ; and since they have the same points, then they are tied.

  • Point per category = 18
  • Number of categories = 3

Largest possible score :

  • (Total percentage × point per category × number of categories)

  • (100% × 18 × 3) = 54 points

B.)

Mary's Score :

  • (15 + 9 + 14) = 38 points

John's score :

  • (18 + 7 + 13) = 38 points
