Question

Daniel has 40 points and Zeke has 75. The opposing team has 150. It is Daniel's turn. How many points
must Daniel make to put him and his teammate ahead?

Answer 1

Answer:

Daniel would have to earn 35 or more points to put him and his teammate ahead.

Step-by-step explanation:

Daniel: 40 points

Zeke: 75 points

Opposing team: 150

Daniel + Zeke + x = Opposing team

40 + 75 + x = 150

- rearrange -

150 = 40 + 75 + x

150 = 115 + x

150 - 115 = x

35 = x
