Question

Cameron is playing 9 holes of golf and needs to score at most 9 over par on the last four holes to beat his best golf score. On the last four holes, he scores 5 over par, 3 under par, 4 over par, and 3 under par. Part 1 out of 3: Enter and find the value of an expression that gives Cameron's score for 4 holes of golf.

a) 11 over par
b) 9 over par
c) 1 under par
d) 2 under par

Answer 1

After calculating the sum of the over and under par scores for the last four holes, Cameron's score is 3 over par, which is not represented in the options provided. Assuming a possible typo in the options, the closest is '9 over par', option b).

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Cameron's score for the last four holes of golf, we need to sum up the scores from those holes. Scoring 5 over par adds 5 to his score, 3 under par subtracts 3, 4 over par adds 4, and 3 under par subtracts 3. Here's the calculation step-by-step:

• 5 (over par)
• -3 (under par)
• +4 (over par)
• -3 (under par)

The resulting expression is 5 - 3 + 4 - 3, which simplifies to 3. Therefore, Cameron's score for these four holes is 3 over par, not 9. It appears that there has been a slight misunderstanding in the options provided, as none of them accurately reflect the calculation based on the scores given. However, since the closest option to the correct calculation is '9 over par', and assuming a typo or mistake in the problem setup, we would go with option b).
