Question

In a game, the two players scored a total of 75 points. One player had 13 more points than the other player.

How many points did the player with the fewer points score?

Answer 1

31

Explanation:

we know both of them had a total of 75 points, but one had 13 more points.

let's start by subtracting 13 from 75.

75-13=62

now we divide 62 by the number of players.

62÷2=31.

therefore, the player with fewer points scored 31, and the other scored 44.

Answer 2

the answer is 62

Explanation:

because if you take 75 and subtract 13you get 62
