Cameron and Jamal play for the same basketball team. During a game, Cameron scores p points and Jamal scores 21 points. If altogether the players score 75 points, how many points did Cameron score?(1 point)

Answer 1

If their total score is 75 and Jamal scores 21, then Cameron and Jamal scored 75-21 = <<75-21=54>>54 together.
If Cameron scored p points, his score together with Jamal's is p+21 = 54.
So, Cameron scored p = 54-21 = <<54-21=33>>33 points. Answer: \boxed{33}.
