Answer:

Each life is worth 5,020 points.

Explanation:

Question:

While playing a game Nancy defeated 5 enemies with each enemy defeated earning her 3,012 points. If she traded in all her points for 3 extra lives, how many points is it per life.

Given:

Points earned defeating an enemy in the game = 3,012

Extra lives traded for all her points = 3

To find the points for each extra life.

Solution:

Using unitary method to find the total points earned by Nancy defeating 5 enemies.

On defeating 1 enemy gives = 3,012 points

Then, on defeating 5 enemies will give =
3012* 5 = 15,060

So, Nancy uses 15,060 points to trade 3 extra lives.

Using unitary method to find the points for each life.

If 3 lives is worth 15,060 points.

Then 1 life would have =
(15060)/(3) = 5,020 points

Thus, each life is worth 5,020 points.
