In a game, a player gets 15 points for a correct answer and loses 10 points for a wrong answer, The expression 15c - 10a represents the total for c= correct answers and a= incorrect answers. How many points are scored for 24 correct answers and 11 incorrect answers.
To find the total number of points scored for 24 correct answers, substitute c = 24 into the expression:
15c - 10a = 15*24 - 10a = 360 - 10a
To find the total number of points lost for 11 incorrect answers, substitute a = 11 into the expression:
15c - 10a = 15c - 10*11 = 15c - 110
Therefore, for 24 correct answers and 11 incorrect answers, the total number of points scored is 360 - 10*11 = 360 - 110 = 250 points.
