To find: the number of points the knightsscored than the Panthers
Answer to Problem 60SR
Knights scored 13 points more than the Panthers
Explanation of Solution

Calculation:
Every win is worth 3 points, tie is worth 1 point and loss is worth 0 point.
Now, for any team with x wins and y ties,
Since 1 win = 3 points
Therefore, x wins =
Since 1 tie = 1 points
Therefore, y ties = y points
The expression for the total points of a team is given by:
Since, from the table, Knights won 14 matches and 7 matches were tie.
Thus, to find points of wildcats, substitute
Since, the expression
Thus, Knights scored 49 points.
Since, from the table, Panthers won 10 matches and 6 matches were tie.
Thus to find points of wildcats, substitute
Since, the expression
Thus, Panthers scored 36 points.
To find how many more points do Knights scored than the Panthers, subtract Panthers points from the Knights points.
Conclusion:
Thus, Knights scored 13 points more than the Panthers
