Question

Is that the real answer at the top and what’s the Raleigh Rocket’s score ?

Answer 1

The scores are as follows:

Caroline Castways = 72

Raleigh Rockets = 24

Explanation:

Let c be the Castways score and r be the Raleigh Rocket’s score

Then

According to given statements, the equations will be:

`c+r = 96\\r = (1)/(3)c`

From equation 2

`3r=c`

Putting c = 3r in equation 1

`3r+r = 96\\4r = 96\\(4r)/(4) = (96)/(4)\\r = 24`

Putting the value of r in equation 2

`r = (1)/(3)c\\24 = (1)/(3)c \\c = 24*3\\c = 72`

Hence,

The scores are as follows:

Caroline Castways = 72

Raleigh Rockets = 24
