Question

Each correct answer is worth 134 points, and each incorrect answer is worth −14 points.

If he gets 58 questions correct and 22 questions incorrect, does Nevan win? How many points does he score?

Answer 1

Nevan scores 7464 points total.

Explanation:

You multiply 58 x 134 to find out how many points he got for the correct answers. He got 7772 points.

You multiply -14 x 22 to find out how many points he lost for the incorrect answers. He lost -308 points.

Subtract 7772-308 to find the total amount of points Nevan has now. He has 7464 points.

Note:

To find out if he won or not I would need a specific number to compare his points with. This is why my answer doesn't say whether he won or not.

Answer 2

He scores 7464 points

Explanation:

58x134= 7772

22x(-14)= -308

7772-308= 7464

Hope this helps :D
