Question

The highest scorer of the women's basketball championship was Jessica Bradley. She scored 98 more points than Tina Harner, her teammate. Together, Bradley and Harner scored 1556 points. How many points did each player score during the championship?

Answer 1

Jessica Bradley scored 827 points

Tina Harner scored 729 points

Explanation:

if both of their scores are added together remove the 98 points from the combined number, 1556. You will get 1458. Then divide it by 2 to get two 729s. with one of the 729s, add the 98 points we removed from the combined number. you get 827 points, which is Jessicas points and the other 729 points is Tina's points.
