Question

Daniel is playing a video game. He has 7,985 points at the end of round one, then the following events happen, in order: • He doubles his points. • He loses 3,500 points. • He earns 4,972 additional points. • The game ends.

Answer 1

Starting points = 7,985

Doubling the points: 7,985 x 2 = 15,970

Subtracting 3,500 points: 15,970 - 3,500 = 12,470

Adding 4,972 points: 12,470 + 4,972 = 17,442

Therefore, Daniel has 17,442 points at the end of the game.
