Question

Ned took a test with 20 questions. He lost 5 points for each of the 8 questions he got wrong and earned an additional 11 points for answering a bonus question correctly. How many points did Ned receive or lose overall?

Answer 1

He would end up with 71 points

Explanation:

You start with 100 hundred points then you have to multiply 8 times 5 which you get 40 so then you have to subtract 100 -40 to get 60 then you add the extra 11 points andyou get 71 points

Answer 2

He lost 29 points

Explanation:

He lost 29 points. He lost 5 points for each of the 8 questions so -5 x 8 = -40 points, then add 11 = -29
