Question

Julio is playing a trivia game. On his first turn, he lost 95 points. On his second turn, he lost 55 points. On his third turn, he lost 80 points. Enter a sum of three negative integers that models the change to Julio's score after his first three turns. Enter the sum in the order of his turns.

Answer 1

Julio's score change by (-230) or we can say Julio lost 230 points after his first three turns.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Points lost after first turn = 95

Points lost after second turn = 55

Points lost after third turn = 80

We have to evaluate the change in Julio's score after his first three turns.

This could be done by adding three negative integers.

Here we use negative integers to represent Julio's point as these points were lost in the turn.

Change in Julio's score =

`=1^(st)\text{ turn} +2^(nd)\text{ turn} +3^(rd)\text{ turn} \\=(-95) + (-55) + (-80) \\=-230`

Thus, Julio's score change by (-230) or we can say Julio lost 230 points after his first three turns.
