Question

jasmine and waldo went bowling if you took 12 points away from Waldo's score, jasmines score was 3 times that if the sum of their score is 360, what was each persons score

Answer 1

Answer: Jasmine's score is given by

$3(x-12)=3(99-12)=3\times 87=261$

And Waldo's score = 99

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Waldo's score be x

Let Jasmine's score be 3(x-12)

According to question,

$x+3(x-12)=360\\\\x+3x-36=360\\\\4x-36=360\\\\4x=360+36\\\\4x=396\\\\x=\frac{396}{4}\\\\x=99$

So,

Jasmine's score is given by

$3(x-12)=3(99-12)=3\times 87=261$

And Waldo's score = 99
