Question

In 2014, the United States won its World Cup qualifying group with 7 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. Costa Rica came in second with 5 wins, 2 losses and 3 draws. If a win is 3 points, a loss is 0 points, and a draw is 1 point, how far behind was Costa Rica from the United States?

A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 5
E) 6

Answer 1

the answer is c

Step-by-step explanation:

7 wins and one draw is equal to 22

5 wins an 3 draws is equal to 18

4 points behind the U.S

Answer 2

C) 4

if each win is 3 points then just in wins the US would have 21 points and Costa Pica would have 15. A loss is 0 points so no need to add those, and a draw is 1 point each. That leaves the US with 22 points and Costa Rica with 18 subtract those to get 4. 4 points behind.
