Question

Karas golf score was 1 less than three fourths of gregs golf score. If the sum of their scores was 153, find karas golf score.

Answer 1

Answer:

Kara's golf score = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Greg's score be x

Then,

Kara's golf score was 1 less than three fourths of Greg's golf score.

Kara's score = $(\frac{3}{4} )x-1$

sum of their scores = 153

$=> x+[(\frac{3}{4} )x-1]=153\\\\=>x+\frac{3}{4} x-1=153\\\\=> \frac{(4+3)x}{4} -1=153\\\\ =>\frac{(4+3)x}{4} =153+1\\\\=>\frac{(7)x}{4}=154\\\\=>7x=154(4)\\\\=> 7x=616\\\\=>x=\frac{616}{7} \\\\=> x = 88 \\\\ =>Greg's \ score=88 \\=>Kara's \ score = (\frac{3}{4})(88)-1 = 66-1=65$
