Answer 1

Mauricio's score for each event is 7.

Explanation:

Mauricio scored a total of 34.42 points in five gymnastic events.

We can round off his score as 35.

To find Mauricio's score for each event, divide total score and no of events as follows :

`n=(35)/(5)\\\\=7`

Hence, Mauricio's score for each event is 7.
