Janet scored 200 and 400 points in the first two rounds in a computer game. Michael scores 250 points in the first round. He wants to get the same total score as Janet. Which of these will help him find out how many points he needs to catch up?

A) 200 + 400 + 250 = p
B) 400 - 250 = p
C) (200 + 400) - 250 = p
D) 250 - 200 = p

The answer is C because (200+400) shows the total amount of points Janet currently has and by taking away 250 (Michael's current amount of points) will give you the amount Michael needs in order to catch up to Janet.

The points Michael need is (200 + 400) - 250.

What is equation?

In algebra, an equation can be defined as a mathematical statement consisting of an equal symbol between two algebraic expressions that have the same value. The most basic and common algebraic equations in math consist of one or more variables.

According to question, Janet scored 200 and 400 points in the first two rounds in a computer game.

Michael scores 250 points in the first round. He wants to get the same total score as Janet.

We need to find how many points Michael needs to catch up.

Total score by Janet[tex]=200+400[/tex]

Let total score by Michael in second round be p

So, total score by Michael [tex]=250+p[/tex]

We will have following equation so that Janet and Michael score equal after two rounds:

[tex]200+400=250+p[/tex]

⇒[tex](200 + 400) - 250 = p[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that Option C is correct answer.
