Question

There are five players on a basketball team. In a game four players scored six points each.The team scored a total of thirty two points.How many points did the other player score?

Answer 1

8 points

Explanation:

Let's say all the five players scored but the fifth player's scored may have been either higher or lower than the other four

Total score is given as 32 points

Score by the other four players are 6 points each

Total points by four players are 4*6=24 points

Score by the fifth player is found by subtracting the points of the four players from the total points that the team earned

Score by fifth player=32 points-24 points=8 points

Therefore, the fifth player scored 8 points for the basketball team
