• B. 11,148 points
• C. 11,248 points
• D. 11,258 points

Answer 1

The correct option is C 11,248 points

Say:
1. The points obtained by team A and B are given.

Steps:
1. What do we need to determine?
a. We need to determine how many more points Team A gets than Team B.
2. How will you determine it?
a. By subtracting points obtained by the team from points obtained by Team A
3. What is the standard form of the one hundred thousand seven?
a. 100,007 (WB1)
4. What are the two standard numbers we have now?
a. 111,255 and 100,007
5. What is the subtraction of 0, 0 and 7 digits from 2, 5 and 5 digits?
a. The subtraction of 7 from 5 is not possible. So, carry the 1 from 5, and it becomes 4. Now, 15 - 7 = 8; 4 - 0 = 4; and 2 - 0 = 2. (WB2)
6. What is the subtraction of 1, 0 and 0 from 1, 1 and 1?
a. After subtracting, we get 1 - 0 = 1, 1 - 0 = 1 and 1 - 1 = 0. (WB2)
7. What is the final answer after subtraction?
a. 11,248. (WB2)
8. How many more points did Team A get than Team B?
a. 11,248 points
Hence, Option A is correct.
