Question

Team A with 5 players scores 15 points during a match. How many points did each player score keeping in mind that each player has contributed equally?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3

Here, the total score is already known. We have to find out the points scored by each player.

Since, each player has contributed equally, this means, the total score is divided among 5 players equally.
To find out points scored by 1 player, we have to divide 15 by 5.

Let's use repeated subtraction.

$15-5=10$
$10-5=5$
$5-5=0$

To get to 0, we used repeated subtraction 3 times. Therefore,

$15÷5=3$

Which means each player has scored 3 points.
