Answer:
Positive marks = correct answer
Negative marks = incorrect answer
Now we know that to find the sum of anything we have to do addition . Since we are going to find Jack's total score we have to add all his scores .
Marks scored by Jack in five successive rounds of a quiz = 25 , -5 , -10 , 15 , 10
Jack's total score in the end :
= 25 + ( -5 ) + ( -10 ) + 15 + 10
= 25 + ( -5 ) = 20 ( + and - will become - and we have to add the sign of the larger number 25 which is + , hence we are getting +20 or 20 )
= 20 + ( -10 ) = ( + and - will become - and we have to add the sign of the larger number 15 , which is + , hence we are getting + 10 or 10 )
= 10 + 15 + 10
= 25 + 10
= 35 .
Therefore , Jack scored 35 marks as his total in the end of the quiz .
Hope you find my answer useful!!!
