Answer 1

The required expression for total number of points you earn is
`P=10c+3p`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let c represents the coin and p represents the points before getting star.

You earn 10 points for every coin you collect in a video game.

`p=10c`......(1)

You find a star that triples your score.

`star=3p`

Now the total number of points you earn is(P):

`P=10c+3p`

Substitute the value of p from equation 1.

`P=10c+3(10c)`

`P=40c`
