Question

Chris and Rihanna received 80 points in total at the spelling bee contest. Each child received more than 20 points. How many points could each child have earned.

Answer 1

between 21 and 59 points

Explanation:

Suppose Chris scored 21, then Rihanna could not have scored more than 59 because 21 + 59 = 80. (and, of course, vice versa)

Answer 2

21-59

Explanation:

If each child received more than 20 points, it has to be at least 21 points each. 80-21 is 59, so they could have each gotten any amount between 21 and 59.

This is my best guess.
