Answer:
120 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of times Rakesh hit the target = x
No.of times Rakesh misses the target = 160 - x
Points he received when hits the target = 4
Points deducted when he misses the target = -1
Therefore, Total points scored by Rakesh in hitting the target x times = 4 × x = 4x
Therefore, Total points deducted by Rakesh in missing target '160 - x' times = (-1) × (160-x) = x - 160
Total Points he scored = 440
According to the question
4x + x - 160 = 440
5x = 440 + 160
5x = 600
x = 600/5
x = 120
Therefore, Rakesh hits the target 120 times
