Answer:

-10 points

Step-by-step explanation:

A game show awards 30 points for each correct answer and deducts 50 points for each in correct answer. A contestant answers 2 questions incorrectly and 3 questions correctly. What is his final score?

Let us say Initial number of points = 0

Hence,

He answers 2 incorrectly = 0 - 50 - 50

= -100

He answers 3 correctly =-100 + 30 + 30 + 30

His final score = -100 + 30 + 30 + 30

= -10 points
