Question

Each bot gives 65 points when it gets shot. If Adam shoots 47 bots, the total points scored is ____.

• A. $3,250\text{points}$
• B. $3,055\text{points}$
• C. $2,600\text{points}$
• D. $3,120\text{points}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $3,055\text{points}$

$\text{Points for 1 bot}=65$

Number of bots shot by Adam = 47

$\text{∴ Total number of points =}65\times 47$

Step 1: First make a table as shown.

Step 2: Extend the diagonals, and write the numbers across rows and columns.


Step 3: Multiply the digits in the corresponding rows and columns.


Step 4: At last, we add all the digits diagonally and write the digits from left to right.


$\text{∴ Total points scored by Adam is}3,055.$
