Answer 1

Mia's score is 10

Explanation:

Mia and Evette played a game in which they scored 10 points for each correct answer and lost 20 points for an incorrect answer. Mia answered 7 questions correctly and 3 questions incorrectly. What was Mia's overall score? *

We are told that:

Correct points = 10 per answer

Incorrect points = 20 per answer

Mia answered 7 questions correctly and 3 questions incorrectly.

Hence:

7 (10) + 3(20)

= 70 points - 60 points

= 10 points

Mia's score is 10
