Question

15) Danny scored 10 points in the first roundof a game. He then lost 20 points inthe second round. In the final round he earned 40 points. What was Danny's scoreat the end of the game?

Answer 1

Step 1 : Let's review the information given to us to answer the problem correctly:

• Points scored by Danny in the first round of a game = 10

,

• Points scored by Danny in the second round of a game = - 20

,

• Points scored by Danny in the final round of a game = 40

Step 2: Now let's calculate Danny's score at the end of the game:

Final score = Points scored by Danny in the first round of a game + Points scored by Danny in the second round of a game + Points scored by Danny in the final round of a game

Replacing by the values given:

Final score = 10 + (-20) + 40

Final score = 10 - 20 - 40
