()) If there were 50 points scored overall, how many more were scored by Jenny than by
Hunter?

Answer 1

20 points

Explanation:

If Jenny scored 3/5th of 50 points then:

Jenny = 3/5 × 50 = 30 points

If Hunter scored 1/5th of 50 points then:

Hunter = 1/5 × 50 = 10 points

Difference in points between Jenny and Hunter = 30 - 10 = 20 points
