Chapter 1.3, Problem 61CCR

To determine

How many more points do the knights have than the panthers.

Answer to Problem 61CCR

  $13\text{ points}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  

In order to find how many more points do the knights have than the panthers, first calculating knights total points and then calculating panthers total points then subtracting panthers points from knights points so, first knights wins total 14 times so the points for 1 win is 3 points so, the total win points will be calculated by multiplying 14 and 3 and then the knights ties 7 times 1 tie is equal to 1 point so the total points for the ties is calculated by multiplying 1 and 7 now, adding both the wins total points and the ties total points as shown below:

  $\begin{array}{l}14\times 3=42\\ 7\times 1=7\\ 42+7=49\text{points}\end{array}$

Then panthers wins total 10 times so the points for 1 win is 3 points so, the total win points will be calculated by multiplying 10 and 3 and then the panthers ties 6 times 1 tie is equal to 1 point so the total points for the ties is calculated by multiplying 1 and 6 now, adding both the wins total points and the ties total points as shown below:

  $\begin{array}{l}10\times 3=30\\ 6\times 1=6\\ 30+6=36\text{points}\end{array}$

Now, subtracting total points of panthers from total points of knights

  $\begin{array}{l}49-36\\ =13\text{ points}\end{array}$

So, knights have 13 more points than panthers.
