Question

Luiza earned a total of 604 points playing a skee-ball game. Different points are awarded depending on which hole the ball goes through. When the ball goes in the smallest hole, it is worth 100 points. When it goes in the bigger hole, it is worth 10 points, and when it does not go in either hole, it is worth 1 point.

Which combination could be how Luiza earned her 604 points?

4 balls in the bigger hole, and 6 balls in neither hole
4 balls in the smallest hole, and 6 balls in neither hole
4 balls in neither hole, and 6 balls in the smallest hole
4 balls in the bigger hole and 6 balls in the smallest hole

Answer 1

4 balls in neither hole, and 6 balls in the smallest hole

Explanation:

4 balls in the bigger hole, and 6 balls in neither hole

4(10) + 6(1) = 46

4 balls in the smallest hole, and 6 balls in neither hole

4*100 + 6(1) = 406

4 balls in neither hole, and 6 balls in the smallest hole

4(1) + 6(100) = 604

4 balls in the bigger hole and 6 balls in the smallest hole

4(10)+6(100) = 640
