Percent = "out of a hundred".
600/800 = x/100
100*(600/800) = x
x = 75
325/400 = x/100
100*(325/400) = x
x = 81.25
Asma scored better - 81.25% to 75%.

600 / 800 = X / 100
100 * (600 / 800) = X
X = 75
325 / 400 = X / 100
100 * (325 / 400) = X
X = 81.25
Thus Asma scored better - 81.25% from Saleem as he get 75 % marks in the examination. the difference is 6.25%
