On a recent math test, Samantha scored 3 points for each of the 18 multiple choice questions she answered correctly and 5 points for each of the 6 short response questions she answered
correctly.
She scored an additional 4 points for the bonus question. Write an expression for her total score on
the test and then find her score.

The required expression will therefore be:

(3×18) + (5×6) + 4

Her total score is 88points :

From the question given, we are told that Samantha scored 3 points for each of 18 multiple choice questions, this means that the total points made here is expressed as:

(3 × 18) ...1

If she got 5 points for each of the 6 short response questions she answered

correctly, the total point made will be expressed as;

(5×6) ... 2

Total score for an additional 4 points for the bonus question will be "4"

Expression for her total score will be the sum of all the expression above as thus:

(3×18) + (5×6) + 4

Taking the sum, her score will be:

= (3×18) + (5×6) + 4

= 54 + 30 + 4

= 84 + 4

= 88 points

The required expression will therefore be:

(3×18) + (5×6) + 4

Her total score is 88points
