Answer 1

To calculate the total points scored for 24 correct answers and 11 incorrect answers using the expression \( 15c - 10a \):

1. Correct answers (c): 24
2. Incorrect answers (a): 11

Now, plug in the values into the expression:

\[ 15c - 10a = 15(24) - 10(11) \]

Calculate each part:

\[ 15(24) = 360 \]

\[ 10(11) = 110 \]

Now substitute these values back into the expression:

\[ 360 - 110 = 250 \]

Therefore, the total points scored is 250.
