Joe is playing a game with a regular die. If the number that turns up is even, he will gain 5 times the number that comes up. If it is odd. He will lose 10 times the number that comes up. He tosses a 3. Express the results as a integer.
If he tosses a 3, from your data, Joe will lose 30.
To solve this problem, we need to follow two steps:
1. Determine if the number that turns up is even or odd.
2. Calculate Joe's gain or loss based on the number that comes up.
Step 1: Determine if the number is even or odd.
In this case, Joe tosses a 3. Since 3 is an odd number, we move to step 2.
Step 2: Calculate Joe's gain or loss.
According to the rules of the game, if the number is odd, Joe will lose 10 times the number that comes up. Therefore, Joe will lose 10 x 3 = -30.
The results, expressed as an integer, indicate that Joe will lose 30.
