The answer is c)
If Emily scored 50% higher than Joshua, she scored 50% more, or half as much again. Which in turn means that Joshua had two thirds of Emily’s score.
Here’s an example to show what I mean:
If Emily’s score was 150, then Joshua’s must have been 100.
If Emily scored 75, then Joshua scored 50.
If Joshua scored 20 then Emily scored 30.
Does that make sense to you?
