Question

Lila scores 15 points fewer than bob, who scores 35 points. Carol scores half as many points as Lila. How many points does Carol scare?

Answer 1

Let "L" be Lila, "B" be Bob, and "C" be Carol.

L = B - 15

B = 35

L = 35-15 = 20

C = L/2

C = 20/2 = 10

Carol scores 10 points

Answer 2

Let l be Lila
Let b be Bob
Let c be Caro

l = b - 15 
b = 35 
l = 35-15 = 20
c = L/2
c = 20/2 = 10

Carol scores 10 points
