Answer:
The total points by Washington High School = 162 points
The total points by Johnson High School = 159 points
The total points by Roosevelt High School = 108 points
The total points by Lewis High School = 196 points
Washington High School has WON the meet.
Johnson High School came second.
The difference in the points= 2 points
Step-by-step explanation:
Points awarded for first place = 10 points
Points awarded for second place = 8 points
Points awarded for third place = 7 points
About Washington High School
10 first places = 10 x ( 10) = 100 points
6 second places = 6 x ( 8) = 48 points
2 first places = 2 x ( 7) = 14 points
So, the total points by Washington High School = Sum of all points
= 100 + 48 + 14 = 162 points .............. (1)
About Johnson High School
8 first places = 8 x ( 10) = 80 points
9 second places = 9 x ( 8) = 72 points
1 first places = 1 x ( 7) = 7 points
So, the total points by Johnson High School = Sum of all points
= 80 + 72 + 7 = 159 points .............. (2)
About Roosevelt High School
4 first places = 4 x ( 10) = 40 points
5 second places = 5 x ( 8) = 40 points
4 first places = 4 x ( 7) = 28 points
So, the total points by Roosevelt High School = Sum of all points
= 40 + 40 + 28 = 108 points .............. (3)
About Lewis High School
3 first places = 3 x ( 10) = 30 points
3 second places = 3 x ( 8) = 24 points
6 first places = 6 x ( 7) = 42 points
So, the total points by Lewis High School = Sum of all points
= 30 + 42 + 24 = 96 points .............. (4)
Now, comparing all four equation, we get that:
Washington High School has WON the meet.
Johnson High School came second.
The difference in the points = 162 - 159 = 2 points
