correct answer and loses 0.75 points for each incorrect

What is her score for the game?

Answer 1

33/36

Explanation:

take 0.75 x 4 = 3

then take

11 x 3 = 33

total score = 36

36 - 3 = 33

so the answer is 33/36

Answer 2

Samantha would score 30 points

Explanation:

If we multiply 11 x 3 we would get 33, the 11 represents the correct awnsers and the 3 represents the points

If we multiply 0.75 and 4 we get 3, this represents the incorrect

Next I subtracted 33 and 3 to get the answer of 30.
