Joey plays on the school basketball team. He scores five 3-pointers and 3 lay-ups (worth 2 points each) in one game. How many total points did he score in that game?

Answer 1

You basically just have to multiply the 3 and 2 by the scores which is 5 and 3.

=3 • 5 = 15
=2 • 3 = 6
Therefore, the total score in the game is 21

first write down the equaequation

( 5 × 3 ) +( 3 × 2 )=x

solve

5 times 3 is 15 then 3 times 2 is 6

next add 15 and 6

15+6=21

Joey scored 21 points in total.
