Question

Daniel plays a shooting game in a funfair. He needs 48 points to get a skateboard. Each shot that hits the target will be given 6 points while 4 points will be deducted for every failed attempt. Daniel has already failed in three attempts. how many shots that are needed to hit the target for him to win the skateboard​

Answer 1

here you go

Explanation:

no of times he failed = -3

points he losed = -3 x 4 = -12

no of times he need to hit the target to get 48 points = 6x

equation

-12 + 6x = 48

6x = 60

x = 10

no of points he will gain = 10 x 6 = 60
