Question

In the hammer game, Benji scores 5 points. Lee scores twice the points as Benji and Susan scores 3 points less than Lee. Find the points scored by Lee and Susan.

• A. Lee - 10, Susan - 8
• B. Lee - 10, Susan - 7
• C. Lee - 7, Susan - 7
• D. Lee - 10, Susan - 10

Answer 1

The correct option is B Lee - 10, Susan - 7

Points scored by Benji, (B) =5
Points scored by Lee, (L) = 2 x B
i.e.L = 2 x 5 = 10 points.
Points scored by Susan, (S) = L - 3
i.e. S = 10 - 3 = 7 points
Lee scored 10 points and Susan scored 7 points.
