Austin correctly answered 92% of the questions on a geography quiz. Liz answered 47 of the 50 questions correctly. Who earned the higher score? Explain

Respuesta :

Liz scored higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Correct answers by Austin = 92%

Total questions = 50

Correctly answered by Liz = 47

Percent of Liz's correct answers = [tex]\frac{Correct\ answers}{Total\ questions}*100[/tex]

Percent of Liz's correct answers = [tex]\frac{47}{50}*100[/tex]

Percent of Liz's correct answers = [tex]\frac{4700}{50} = 94\%[/tex]

As 94% is higher than 92%, therefore;

Liz scored higher.
