A game is played in which each throw of a ball lands in one of
two holes: the closer hole or the farther hole. A throw landing in the
closer hole scores 2 points, while a throw landing in the farther hole
scores 5 points. A player’s total score is equal to the sum of the
scores on their throws.
Jasmin had 3 throws that each scored 2
points and 4 throws that each scored 5 points. What was Jasmin’s total
score?
Sam had twice as many throws that scored
2 points as throws that scored 5 points. If Sam’s total score was points, how many throws did Sam
take?
Tia had throws that each scored 2 points and
throws that each scored 5 points.
If Tia’s total score was 37 points, determine all possible ordered pairs
.
The game is changed so that each throw
scores 6 or 21 points instead of
or . Explain whether or not it is
possible to have a total score of points.
