To determine in which subject the student performed better, we can compare the percentage of marks obtained in each subject.
In math:
Percentage in math = (Marks obtained in math / Total marks in math) * 100
= (150 / 200) * 100
= 75%
In science:
Percentage in science = (Marks obtained in science / Total marks in science) * 100
= (120 / 180) * 100
= 66.67%
Comparing the percentages, we can see that the student performed better in math, where they scored 75%, compared to 66.67% in science.
