In an English test Alvin scored 28 out of 40. In mathematics test he scored 36 out of 60.

Question

What was the percentage difference between Alvin score for both tests

Answer 1

To find the percentage difference between the two test scores, we first need to calculate the total possible points for each test.

For the English test:
Total possible points = 40

For the mathematics test:
Total possible points = 60

Now we can calculate the actual score as a percentage for each test:

English test score as a percentage:
(28/40) x 100% = 70%

Mathematics test score as a percentage:
(36/60) x 100% = 60%

Now we can find the difference between the two scores:
70% - 60% = 10%

Therefore, the percentage difference between Alvin's score for the two tests is 10%.
