In a game, a player earns 3 points for every hit and loses 2 points for every miss. James has 15 hits and 16 misses. If James wants a final score of 31, how many more points does he need?
Formula: Points he want - [(Hits x Points) - (Miss x Loses)] 31 - (15 x 3) - (16 x 2) = 31 - [45 - 32] = 31 - 13 = 18 He needs more 18 points to have a point of 31.
3 points = 1hit
2 point = 1 miss
15(3)=45 points (earns)
16(2)=32 points (loses)
45-32=13 pts.
31-13=18, he needs 18 points ...
So, my answer is 18 points. =D
3 points = 1hit
2 point = 1 miss
15(3)=45 points (earns)
16(2)=32 points (loses)
45-32=13 pts.
31-13=18, he needs 18 points ...
So, my answer is 18 points. =D
