Question

Parline lost 5 points and Tyrell lost 3 points. If

they both started with the same number of points,
who is in the lead and by how much?

Answer 1

Tyrell is in the lead by 2 points.

Explanation:

Example:

Imagine they both started at 10 points. If Parline lost 5 points (10 - 5) while Tyrell lost 3 points (10 - 3), then it is clear that Tyrell's points (7 remainings) are more than Parline's points (only 5 remainings). Hence, Tyrell is in the lead by 2 points.
