Question

Brooklyn scored 27 points in the basketball game. That was 12 points more than her friend, Cienna, scored. How many points did they score altogether? * 2 points

Answer 1

42 points

Explanation:

If Brooke scored 27 points, 12 less than that would be what Cienna scored. To find this, you would do 27 - 12. This is equal to 15, so Cienna scored 15 points.

To find how much they scored together, you would add both their scores. Brooke scored 27 and Cienna scored 15, so 27 + 15 = 42. Therefore, they scored 42 points together.
