Question

Tanya and Mona are in the Big Beast Booth at the County Fair. Tanya buys a ticket that gives her three throws with a beanbag at the beasts. There are four beasts, each with a different number on them, 1, 2, 3, or 4. Each time she hits a beast Tanya earns the number of points on that beast. After three throws the points are added up and she gets a “Big Beast” for earning 4 points. How many different ways could Tanya score 4 points?


PLZ HELP ME!!!

Answer 1

After all the time you've spent posting this problem, don't you have any ideas? There just aren't that many ways to add at most three numbers to get 4:

1+1+2
1+2+1
2+1+1
...

Consider that she might have missed one or two throws.

Answer 2

Well thanks I just wanted to make sure I was on the right path so I got 12 different ways. Hopefully Its right.
