Answer 1

Lance- 8
Rita- 20

Rita had the higher score by 12 points

Answer 2

Rita had higher score than lance and she scored 11 more than lance.

Explanation:

It is given that lance and Rita were tied in a game.

Lance scores : 19, -7, 3, -11, 5

Rita scores : 25, -9, 5, -9, 8

The sum of Lance scores is

`19+( -7)+3+(-11)+5=9`

The sum of Lance scores is 9.

The sum of Rita scores is

`25+( -9)+5+(-9)+8=20`

The sum of Rita scores is 20.

Since 20 > 9, therefore Rita had higher score than lance.

Difference between their score is

Rita score - lance score =
`20-9=11`

Therefore Rita scored 11 more than lance.
