Question

. On each turn that she takes, she can earn either 3 points or 4 points.

. She has taken 12 turns and has earned a total of 40 points.
On how many turns has Makayla earned 4 points?

Answer 1

t + f = 12---->3t + 3f = 36

3t + 4f = 40--->3t + 4f = 40

----------------

f = 4, t = 8

4 four-point turns, 8 three-point turns

Answer 2

Answer: 4 points on 4 turns

Explanation:

Let's solve this problem step by step.

We are given the following information:

- On each turn, Makayla can earn either 3 points or 4 points.

- Makayla has taken 12 turns.

- Makayla has earned a total of 40 points.

To find out how many turns Makayla has earned 4 points, we can set up an equation based on the given information.

Let's say Makayla earned 4 points on x number of turns. The number of turns where Makayla earned 3 points would be (12 - x), as the total number of turns is 12.

Based on the given information, we can write the equation:

4x + 3(12 - x) = 40

Now, let's solve the equation:

4x + 36 - 3x = 40

x + 36 = 40

x = 40 - 36

x = 4

Therefore, Makayla earned 4 points on 4 turns.
