Question

In a game, a player earns 100 points for each question answered correctly and earns -30 points for each question answered incorrectly. A player answered 14 questions correctly and 6 questions incorrectly.



Part A) Write a numeric expression to represent the total number of points the player earned.



Part B) Determine the total number of points.

Answer 1

The general expression is 130 x - 600 and total points scored by the player is 1220

A) Let the number of correctly answered questions be x.

∴ Number of incorrectly answered questions will be 20 - x.

+ 100 points is awarded for each question answered correctly while -30 points is awarded for each question answered incorrectly.

Thus, the general equation becomes

= 100x - (20 - x)(-30)

= 100x +30x - 600

= 130x - 600

Thus the general expression becomes 130 x - 600

B)  The player answers 14 questions correctly, thus x = 14

Substituting the value of x =14 in the general equation we get,

= 130(14) - 600

= 1820 - 600

= 1220.

Thus the total points scored by the player will be 1220
