Answer 2

There is only 1 shot that hit the mark.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of shot hit the mark be 'x'.

Let the number of shot miss the mark be '40-x'.

Amount earned on hit the mark = 25 paise

Amount earned miss the mark = -10 paise

According to question,

$0.25x-0.10(40-x)=-0.5\\\\0.25x-4+0.1x=-0.5\\\\0.35x=-0.5+4\\\\0.35x=0.35\\\\x=1$

Hence, there is only 1 shot that hit the mark.
