Jack improves by 80%, so we multiply his original score by 1.8 (the 1 to represent his earlier score and the .8 to add on his improvement). 40% times 1.8 equals 72%.
Jill's second test is 130% of her first test (that is, a 30% improvement). To find her new score we multiply her first score by 1.3. 50% times 1.3 equals 65%.
Thus, Jack's second test score is higher.
