\begin{gathered} \text{Overpar corresponds to positive number on the number line} \\ \text{Underpar corresponds to negative number on the number line} \\ \text{Par corresponds to zero on the number line} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 7\text{ overpar equals +7} \\ 1\text{ underpar equals -1} \\ 8\text{ overpar equals +8} \\ 1\text{ underpar equals -1} \end{gathered}

Thus, the expression that gives Cameron's score for 4 holes of golf is:


+7-1+8-1

Thus, Cameron's score is:


\begin{gathered} +7-1+8-1 \\ =13 \end{gathered}
