Chapter 1.3, Problem 62CCR

To determine

How many fewer points do the mustangs have than the huskies.

Answer to Problem 62CCR

  $\text{5 points}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  

In order to find how many fewer points do the mustangs have than the huskies, first calculating mustangs total points and then calculating huskies total points then subtracting huskies points from mustangs points so, first huskies wins total 11 times so the points for 1 win is 3 points so, the total win points will be calculated by multiplying 11 and 3 and then the huskies ties 10 times 1 tie is equal to 1 point so the total points for the ties is calculated by multiplying 1 and 10 now, adding both the wins total points and the ties total points as shown below:

  $\begin{array}{l}11\times 3=33\\ 10\times 1=10\\ 33+10=43\text{points}\end{array}$

Then mustangs wins total 9 times so the points for 1 win is 3 points so, the total win points will be calculated by multiplying 9 and 3 and then the mustangs ties 11 times 1 tie is equal to 1 point so the total points for the ties is calculated by multiplying 1 and 11 now, adding both the wins total points and the ties total points as shown below:

  $\begin{array}{l}9\times 3=27\\ 11\times 1=11\\ 27+11=38\text{points}\end{array}$

Now, subtracting total points of mustangs from total points of huskies

  $\begin{array}{l}43-38\\ =5\text{ points}\end{array}$

So, mustangs have 5 points fewer than huskies.
