Question

You have a score of -500 points in a game. After three rounds of answering your questions correctly, you have a score of 2,700 points. What is the change in score?

Answer 1

To determine the change in score, we can calculate it by subtracting the initial score from the final score.

The initial score is -500 points, and after three rounds, the score is 2,700 points.

Change in score = Final score - Initial score
Change in score = 2,700 - (-500)

To simplify the subtraction of a negative number, we can convert it to addition:

Change in score = 2,700 + 500
Change in score = 3,200

Therefore, the change in score is 3,200 points.
