1 answer

To compare Gracie's and Lizzie's grades, we need to convert Gracie's score to a percentage.

Gracie earned 150 out of 200. We can calculate her percentage as follows:

\[ \text{Gracie's Percentage} = \left( \frac{150}{200} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Gracie's Percentage} = 0.75 \times 100 = 75% \]

Now, Lizzie earned 92%.

Comparing the two percentages:

  • Gracie's percentage: 75%
  • Lizzie's percentage: 92%

Since 92% is greater than 75%, Lizzie has the higher grade.

Final Answer: Lizzie's grade is 92%.
