Solution
The correct option is A 345 Points gained for each gold coin = 20 So, point gained for 19 gold coins = 20 x 19
Similarly, for each red coin, points lost = 5 i.e., points gained for each raid coins = -5 So, points gained for 7 red coins = (-5) x 7 red coins Hence, Ted's score : = (19 x 20) + ((-5) x 7) = 380 + (-35) = 380 - 35 = 345
