Question

In a quiz, team A scored - 40, 10, 0 and team B scored 20, 0, - 40 in three successive rounds, team C scored 30,30,20 and team D scored 80, 20, -10.
(i) Which team scored the highest?
(ii) Which team scored the lowest?
(iii) What is the difference between the teams which scored the highest and the team which scored lowest?

Answer 1

Team A - 40, 10, 0.
Total score = - 40 + 10 + 0 = - 30

Team B - 20, 0,- 40.
Total score = 20 + 0 +(- 40) = - 20

Team C - 30, 30, 20
Total score = 30 + 30 + 20 = 80

Team D - 80, 20, -10
Total score = 80 + 20 - 10 = 90

(i) So, team D scored the highest = 90

(ii) Team A scored the lowest =-30

(iii) The difference between the highest scorer and the lowest scorer
= 90 - (-30) = 90 + 30 = 120
