arlene scored twice as many points 162 points how many points did arlene score

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

I would start by setting up a general equation here based on the information given

R + 2R = 162, where R is the number of points Rachana scored and 2R is the number of points Arelene scored since it was double the amount of points of Rachana

Solving that equation for “R” I get

3R = 162

R = 54 , so Rachana scored 54 points.

Then 54 x 2 = 108, meaning that Arlene scored 108 points

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

A/2 + A = 162

3A/2 = 162

A =2(162)/3 = 2(54) = 108 points for Arlene
