Dan was comparing to of his test results, in the first test he scored 22/25, on the second he got a 42/50, which test did he perform better and how so? 

To determine which test Dan performed better on, let’s calculate the percentage score for each test.

1. **First Test:**
   \[
   \frac{22}{25} \times 100 = 88\%
   \]

2. **Second Test:**
   \[
   \frac{42}{50} \times 100 = 84\%
   \]

Comparing the two percentages, Dan scored **88%** on the first test and **84%** on the second test. Therefore, he performed better on the first test by **4 percentage points**.
