Question

Elmo buckets played 7 basketball games altogether. He scored 88 field goals, 2 points each, and 13 points each. How many points did Elmo score in total?

Answer 1

Elmo scored 88 field goals at 2 points each and an additional 13 points across 7 basketball games, amounting to a total of 189 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student, Elmo buckets, played 7 basketball games and scored a total of 88 field goals, each worth 2 points, and an additional 13 points. First, calculate the total points from field goals by multiplying 88 (the number of field goals) by 2 (the points each field goal is worth). Next, add the extra 13 points to the sum of the field goals to get the total points scored.

1. Multiply the number of field goals (88) by the points per field goal (2 points) to get: 88 x 2 = 176 points
2. Add the additional points (13) to the total from the field goals: 176 + 13 = 189 points

Therefore, Elmo scored a total of 189 points across the 7 basketball games.
