Question

Kara's golf score was 1 less than three fourths of greg's golf score. if the sum of their scores was 153, find kara's golf score

Answer 1

let us say that:

x = greg’s golf score

so that:

(3/4) x – 1 = kara’s golf score

and:

x + (3/4) x – 1 = 153

 

calculating for x:

1.75 x = 154

x = 88

 

then kara’s score is:

(3/4) x – 1 = (3/4) * 88 – 1

= 65

 

Answer:

65
