Question

John’s golf score was 4 less than 2/3rds of Sam’s. If the sum of their score was 100, find Sam’s score

Answer 1

62.4

Explanation:

Sam's score= x

John's score= 2/3x-4

john's score + sam's score=100

x+2/3x-4=100

5/3x-4=100

5/3x=104

5x=312

x=62.4

Sam's score is 62.4

John's score is 37.6
