Question

For one of the planned elements of Patrick Chan's free program, the judges awarded him 1.9 times the base score of the element. If they awarded him 3.80 points, what was the base score of the element?

Answer 1

1.9 × (base score) = 3.80 points

base score = (3.80 points)/1.9 = 2.00 points

The base score of the element was 2.00 points.

Answer 2

Answer: The base score of the element is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the base score of the element be 'x'.

Number of points awarded to him = 3.80 points

According to question, the judges awarded him 1.9 times the base score of the element.

So, it becomes,

$1.9\times x=3.80\\\\x=\dfrac{3.80}{1.9}\\\\x=2$

Hence, The base score of the element is 2.
