Question

Tom is in a diving competition. (a) The score, S, for a dive is 60% of the total mark, m, multiplied by the difficulty

factor of the dive, d.
Write down the formula for calculating S in terms of m and d.

Answer 1

S = 0.6md

Explanation:

Formula

• S = (60% of m) x d
• Convert 60% to decimal
• 60%/100% = 0.6
• ⇒ S = 0.6md

Answer 2

`⟼ \sf \: \blue { \boxed{s \: = 0.6m * d}}`

Explanation:

• To obtain a formula for S which is score

As, we know it 60% is equal to 0.6

Therefore,:

`⟼ \sf \: \green { \boxed{s \: = 0.6m * d}}`

In conclusion, according to the word problem the score was 60% the total mark multiplied by difficulty as and as we all know it 60% equals 0.6 therefore the score equals 0.6m which is Marks × difficulty factor of the dive
