Question

Maria and Rizal entered a competition as a team Rizal's score was 1/3of Maria's score

Maria scored 46 more points than Rizal. How many points did Maria score?

Answer 1

Maria 69 Rizal 23

Explanation:

M =Maria

(1/3)M = Rizal

M-46= (1/3)M

Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate fraction

3M-138 =M

138=2M

69= M (Maria =69)

69/3= 23

69-46=23
