yes nevan won

Explanation:

Answer 2

i. Yes, Nevan won.

ii. Nevan scored 7464 points.

Explanation:

Given: each correct answer = 134 points

each incorrect answer = -14 points

Since he got 58 questions correctly, then;

His number of points = 134 x 58

= 7772 points

Also, he got 22 incorrect questions, then;

His number of points = -14 x 22

= -308

Nevan's total points = 7772 + (-308)

= 7772 - 308

= 7464

Nevan scored 7464 points.

Nevan won, and also had a total of 7464 points.
