Question

Before the game ends, Lee answers a 275-point question correctly, a 70-point question correctly, and a 50-point question incorrectly. Write and find the value of an expression to find Lee’s final score

Answer 1

He would have 345 points UNLESS the 50 points he got wrong were subtracted from his score. Then his score would be 295.


275+70=345
Now if the 50 points were subtracted it would be 275+70=345-50=295

Answer 2

The expression that gives the total of Lee's score =
`275+70-50`

Explanation:

Before the game ends, Lee answers a 275-point question correctly, a 70-point question correctly, and a 50-point question incorrectly.

Lee's final score can be given by:

`275+70-50` = 295 points

The expression that gives the total of Lee's score =
`275+70-50`
