Question

Rebecca is playing a video game that involves planting and cutting down trees. She moves up an energy level for each tree she plants, and she moves down a level for each tree she cuts. If Rebecca reaches energy level 10, she will earn bonus points.

Rebecca is currently at energy level 4. The results of her next 3 turns are:
Turn 1: 6 trees cut
Turn 2: 8 trees planted
Turn 3: 1 tree cut

3. What is Rebecca's energy level after Turn 2?

4. What is Rebecca's energy level after Turn 3? Will she earn bonus points after Turn 3? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

3. Rebecca’s energy level after turn 2 would be 6

4. Rebecca’s energy level after turn 3 would be 5. Rebecca’s not going to earn any additional points due to her not being the required energy level.

Answer 2

3. 6 energy points after turn 2

4. 5 energy points after turn 4

no bonus points cause she never reached 10 points
