Explanation:

First, we should focus on their records and percents.

Shaka: 30%, -15 points.

Ajani: 40% +35 points.

When we subtract 35 and -15, we get the difference of 50.

We know 10% is 50 point difference, 20% is 100 point difference, 30% is 150 point difference, etc.

But that's not correct.

  • It has to be in the Negatives.
  • It cannot be positive under 30%.

Since 30% is -15 points, we subtract 50 for 20%, then another 50 for 10%.

Our Correct work is:

0% = -0, 10% = -115, 20% = -65, (30% = -15, 40% = 35.)

- We are correct.

Then, since we are correct, we keep going.

30% = -15, 40% = 35, 50% = 85, 60% = 135, 70% = 185, 80% = 235, 90% = 285, 100% (Or Maximum Point): 335.

Therefore, the Maximum Point is 335 points.

Best of Luck to you!
