In a quiz, positive marks are given for correct answers and negative marks for incorrect answers. If Guru's scores in five successive rounds were 35, -10, -15, 20 and 5, find his total score.
35
Guru's scores in five successive rounds were 35, -10, -15, 20 and 5.
His total score will be given by the sum of the scores obtained in the five consecutive rounds.
∴Total score = Sum of all the scores
= 35 + (-10) + (-15) + 20 + 5
= 35 - 10 -15 + 20 + 5
= 35 - 25 + 25
= 35
