I was asked this question on a test. It was marked wrong with no explanation as to why it was wrong.

Answer all three questions and tell me what what you came up with.

There were 2 pills created to cure allergic reactions to cats.

On day 1,
Pill A cured 75 out of 100 patients.
Pill B cured 25 out of 30 patients.

Q1. What percentage of patients did Pill A cure on day 1? What percentage of patients did Pill B cure on day 1?

On day 2,
Pill A cured 10 out of 25 patients.
Pill B cured 35 out of 70 patients.

Q2. What percentage of patients did Pill A cure on day 2? What percentage of patients did Pill B cure on day 2?

Q3. Which pill is, overall, more effective?

Alright, Gantic wins.

I was asked this question on a test. It was marked wrong with no explanation as to why it was wrong.


I did not want everyone to automatically question why I posted such a simple math problem in the forums, therefore I created this fabrication to keep suspicion down.

If you combine Day 1 and Day 2's results, you get the following:

Pill A = 85/125 = 68%
Pill B = 60/100 = 60%
