Question

The FunWorld Obstacle Course is scored by awarding 10 points for every activity that is passed and by deducting 5 points for every activity that is failed. Bob passed 4 activities and failed 3 activities. Tom passed 7 activities and failed 4 activities. Who got a higher score?

Answer 1

Bob passed 4 activities, so 4 x 10 = 40 points. He failed 3, so 3 x 5 = 15

Total points = 40-15 = 25 points.

Tom passed 7, so 7 x 10 = 70 points. He failed 4, so 4 x 5 = 20

Total points = 70-20 = 50 points.

Tom got a higher score.
