Question

Rita and Bernie both play the same online game. In today's play, Rita earns 6 points 3 time

points twice. Bernie gets a bonus of 15 points for answering a trivia question correctly an
25 points twice for giving wrong answers. Who had the greater change to their total points?​

Answer 1

Rita had the greater change to her total points by +36 points.

Explanation:

In today's play, Rita earns 6 points 3-time points twice.

So, she has a change to her total points by +3[2×6] = +36 points.

Again, Bernie gets a bonus of 15 points for answering a trivia question correctly and a reduction of 25 points twice for giving wrong answers.

So, she has a change to her total points by + 15 - [2×25] = - 35 points.

Therefore, Rita had a greater change to her total points by +36 points. (Answer)
