Question

A soccer team gets three points for a win, one point for a tie, and zero points for a loss. The team plays ten games and has three more wins than losses. What is the greatest possible number of points the team could have?

Answer 1

Highest number of wins and losses can only be 6 & 3 and if u take 7 & 4 as taking 7&4 will make total 11 and we know that there was only 10 games.

So we can conclude like this

Number of wins: 6

Number of losses: 3

Number of draws: 1

Thus the points will be, (6*3)+(3*0)+(1*1)

18+0+1

=19 points

Answer 2

Answer: 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest you can go is 6 and 3 because you can't do 7 and 4. 6 wins would add up to 18 points. The one game that is missing we can say could be a tie, which would add 1 point, making it 19 possible points.
