Question

In a game, a prize can be won if a total of 4 500 points is scored in three attempts.
Arnold scored 2 373 points in his first attempt and 450 points less in his second attempt.
(A) How many points in TOTAL did Arnold score in his two attempts?
(B) How many more points must Arnold score in order to win the prize?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1 923

B. 2 577

Step-by-step explanation:

For PartA subtract 450 from 2 373 because he scored 450 pts LESS in his second attempt. For PartB subtract 1 923 from 4 500 because that would give you the number of how many more he still needs to receive.

Answer 2

A-
1 Round =2373 points
2Round=2373-450=1923

B-
More points he needs=subtract points of round a+round b form 4500
=4500-(2373+1923)
=4500-4296
