Question

Paige was playing a trivia game where you gained points for correct answers and lost points for incorrect answers. At the start of round 3 she was -700 points. During the round she answered eight 400 point questions correct and she answered nine 600 questions incorrect. What was her score at the end of the round

Answer 1

Givens

Start = S = - 700

# Correct = C = 8

Value Correct = VC = 400

# Incorrect =I = 9

Value Incorrect =VI =  - 600

Equation

Score = S + C*VC + I*VI         Substitute

Solve

Score = -700 + 8*400 + 9(-600)

Score = -700 + 3200 - 5400

Score = - 700 - 2200

Score = - 2900 <<<<< Answer
