Answer:
<h2>a. 40 + 20 + 3 + 6</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Points scored by Hessa is as shown below;
Round 1 = 43 points
Round 2 = 26 points
Total points for both rounds = 43 + 26 = 69 points
To determine the sum she could use to add the points together, we must select the sum that will give us the same total of points for both rounds i.e 69 points.
The Round 1 score (43 pt)can also be expressed as (40+3) points
The Round 2 score (26 pt)can also be expressed as (20+6) points
The sum she could use to add the points together will be (40+3)+(20+6)
which is also equal to 40 + 20 + 3 + 6 = 69points
Hence, option a is correct
