Question

You and your friend play an arcade game. You score 5 points for every 9 points that your friend scores. You score 320 points less than your friend. How many points do you each score?

Answer 1

400 ; 720

Explanation:

Given that :

My score = 5 point for every 9 points scored by my friend ; hence my score is always 4 points less than my friend's score.

Let number of shot = x

Also my score x is 320 less than my friend's score

Hence after x shots

My score = friend's score - 320

5x = 9x - 320

5x - 9x = - 320

-4x = - 320

x = 80

Hence ;

My score = 5x = 5* 80 = 400

My &friend's score = 9 * 80 = 720
