Respuesta :

Answer:

42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Point for correct score  = [tex]\frac{11}{2}[/tex]  = 5.5

Point for incorrect score = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 0.5

Unknown:

Final score = ?

Solution:

Number of correct score  = 8

   Points gained  = 8 x 5.5 = 44

Number of incorrect score  = 3

  Points lost  = 3 x 0.5  = 1.5

His final score  = 44 - 1.5  = 42.5
