Question

Audrey has already scored 53 points,and scored 22 more points with every coin she collects.How many coins does Audrey have to collect to score a total of 97 points​

Answer 1

Answer:

Audrey needs to collect 3 more coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she already scored 53 points, we have to find out how many more points she needs to score 97.

So, 97-53=45 points.

The problem says that each coin Audrey collects is worth 22 points. Therefore, 45 divided by 22= 2 remainder 1. However, if she only collects two more coins, Audrey will only have 96 points in total, not 97.

So, add another coin to make 3.
