Question

Quinn is playing in a trivia competition. He earns 50 points for each correct response, . He loses 25 points for each wrong response, . Which expression represents Quinn's total points in the trivia competition? A

Answer 1

T = 50x - 25y

Explanation:

The expression that would best represent this scenario would be the following

T = 50x - 25y

In this expression the variable T represents the total number of points, the variable x represents the total number of correct responses, and the variable y represents the total number of wrong responses which is subtracted from the product of the correct responses since Quinn is losing points for every wrong response.
