Question

Colin and Brian were playing darts. Colin scored 25. Brian scored 170 more than Colin. What was their combined score?

Answer 1

Answer: 220

We have given that Colin scored 25 and Brian scored x ( x-unknown)

Since we know that Brian scored 170 more than Colin, Brian scored:

x = 25 + 170 = 195

Now we know that Colin scored 25 and Brian scored 195.

They together scored

25 + 195 = 220
