Answer:

First we multiply to see how many she has gotten, which is the equation 5x4 and that equals 20. Now we see how many she has lost. She has lost a total of six, we count this by subtracting 1/2 each time. The correct answer is 16.

Let me know if this helped, :-D

Answer - 16 stars

Since she earns 5 stars for one goal and scores 4 goals, we multiply 5 by 4 which gives you 20. Now since she missed the goal 8 times and she loses half a star every time she misses, we cut 8 in half (8 divided by2) and subtract that from 20. 8 divided by 2 = 4, so your answer will be 16!
