In a basketball game, the bulldogs scored 34 field goals, each counting 2 points, and 13 foul goals, each counting 1 point. The panthers scored 38 field goals and 8 foul goals. Which team won? By how many points did it win?
if the bulldogs score 34 field goals, how much did they score on the field goals alone?
if one field goal is worth two points, how many points are 34 field goals worth?
34 x 2= 68.
okay good. they also scored 13 foul goals. each foul goal is worth 1 point. so how many points did they score with just fouls?
13 x 1= 13 pts.
okay good. so how many points did the bulldogs score totally?
68 + 13= 81
okay good. similarly calculate the other team's score. whoever has the higher score wins the game by the difference of the scores.
thanks.
