Ryan's team won 2 games and scored 27 points in the first game and 24 in the second game. They lost a game 40 to 18. What was the total number of points the team scored in the winning game?
is it 27+24+18=69?
hard to say. They scored 69 pts in all three games.
They ask about "the winning game". There were two of them.
Assuming they meant "the winning games" then they scored 27+24=51 pts. The score in the losing game is irrelevant.
To find the total number of points in the winning game, we need to add the points scored in the two winning games. In the first game, the team scored 27 points, and in the second game, they scored 24 points. So, to find the total number of points in the winning games, we add 27 and 24 together:
27 + 24 = 51
Therefore, the total number of points the team scored in the winning game is 51.
