Question

Edgar and Paul are playing video games. Edgar's score is 160 and he scores 5 points per second. Raul's score is 100 and he

scores 8 points per second. How long will it be before Raul takes the lead?

Answer 1

21 seconds

Explanation:

First let's find out how long it would take for them to have the same score.

160 + 5s = 100 + 8s

160 = 100 + 3s

60 = 3s

20 = s

Since it takes 20 seconds to get the same score and Raul get's more points every second, it would take 21 seconds for Raul to take the lead.
