Question

Eddy was playing a game on his computer. He earned 943 points in one level of the game. He wants to earn same number of points in each level of the game. How many points would be there in his scoreboard after completing the all 62 levels of the game.

• A. $62\times (900+40+3)$
• B. $6\times 2\times 943$
• C. $(62\times 900)+(62\times 40)+(62\times 3)$
• D. (a) and (c) above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D (a) and (c) above.

Here, we need to find $943\times 62$ to find the points earned by Eddy after completing 62 games.

We will take help of the distributive property of multiplication to solve this.

We can split up $943$ to $900+40+3$
Thus, $62\times 943=62\times (900+40+3)$

Also we can indiviually multiply it and then sum the products up like:
$(62\times 900)+(62\times 40)+(62\times 3)$

$\Rightarrow (62\times 900)=$​​​​​​​$\Rightarrow (62\times 40)=$
$62\times 943=55,800+2480+186$
So, 58,466 points would be there in the scoreboard of Eddy's Game.
