Question

In bowling, a handicap is a change in score to adjust for differences in players' abilities. If a bowler average is over 200 the handicap is 0. Find the inverse of the model then find your average if your handicap is 36.

Answer 1

The average score a for a bowler is 160 points.

Explanation:

Consider the provided formula
`h = 0.9(200 - a)`.

Where a is your average score.

Solve the provided equation for a.

`(h)/(0.9) =200 - a`

`a=200-(h)/(0.9)`

Hence, the inverse of the model is
`a=200-(h)/(0.9)`.

Substitute h=36 in above model.

`a=200-40`

`a=160`

Hence, the average score a for a bowler is 160 points.
