Question

Lee scores 3 points for the first hit. Kimberly scores thrice as many points as Lee for the second hit. For third hit, she scores 5 more points than Lee's first hit score. Find the points scored by Kimberly from the second and third hit.

• A. 9 , 5
• B. 8, 9
• C. 9, 8
• D. 8, 8

Answer 1

The correct option is C 9, 8

Points scored by Lee for the first hit (I) = 3.
Points scored by Kimberly for the second hit (II) = 3 x I
i.e. 3 x 3 = 9 points.
Points scored by Kimberly for the third hit (III) = I + 5
i.e. III = 3 + 5 = 8 points.
Hence, Kimberly scored 9 points from the second hit and 8 points from the third hit.
