Question

22 points when a storm blew a treasure chest off her ship. Then, she earned 34 points for finding more treasure on a deserted island.
What is the overall change in Leslie's score during level 2?

Answer 1

To find the overall change in Leslie's score during Level 2, we need to first consider the points she lost and the points she gained.

1. Leslie lost 22 points from the storm: \[ -22 \text{ points} \]

2. Leslie gained 34 points from finding more treasure: \[ +34 \text{ points} \]

Now, we can calculate the overall change in her score by adding the points she gained and the points she lost: \[ \text{Overall change} = \text{Points gained} + \text{Points lost} \] \[ \text{Overall change} = 34 + (-22) = 34 - 22 = 12 \]

Thus, the overall change in Leslie's score during Level 2 is: \[ \boxed{12} \text{ points} \]
