Mr. Makobe recorded the test results of his Grade 11 Mathematical Literacy class in terms of gender. The results are shown below:

Boys' scores (%)
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline 48 & 56 & 57 & 58 & 65 & 66 & 66 \\
\hline 68 & 73 & 77 & 78 & 81 & 85 & 96 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Girls' scores (%)
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline 38 & 75 & 49 & 79 & 39 & 99 & 56 \\
\hline 67 & 98 & 89 & 59 & 75 & 75 & \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

1.1.1 Arrange the girls' scores in descending order. (2)



Answer :

Alright, let's solve the problem of arranging the girls' scores in descending order.

Firstly, let's list all the girls' scores as provided:
- 38
- 75
- 49
- 79
- 39
- 99
- 56
- 67
- 98
- 89
- 59
- 75
- 75

Next, we need to sort these scores from highest to lowest. After sorting, we get the following ordered list:

- 99
- 98
- 89
- 79
- 75
- 75
- 75
- 67
- 59
- 56
- 49
- 39
- 38

Hence, the girls' scores arranged in descending order are:
