• A. $16,080$
• B. $13,400$
• C. $14,300$
• D. $10,680$
• E. $18,060$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

$13,400$

As per the question, in a bowling game, $1$ strike $=1,340$ points.

$\bullet$ Oliver makes $12$ strikes.
Hence, the total score of Oliver is $12\times 1,340$ points, which we simplify below using our new method of multiplication.


$\therefore$ The score of Oliver is $16,080$.

$\bullet$ Amelia makes $10$ strikes.
Hence, the total score of Amelia is $10\times 1,340$ points, which is simplified using our new lattice method but without lattice in the following.


$\therefore$ The score of Amelia is $13,400$.
