Answer: she needs to finish 4 levels to have a point total less than 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the following:
Initial score = 100 points
Losing points for passing a level = - 8 points
Losing points for catching a flower = - 3 points
Assume Tina catches 6 flowers during each level
Total levels required to have less than 20 points
Points lost per level:
Catching 6 flowers = -(6 × 3)
Passing the level = - 8
= - 18 + - 8 = - 26 points
Levels to finish to achieve less than 20 points
Let the number of levels be y
Starting points - (26 × number of levels) < 20
100 - (26y) < 20
100 - 26y < 20
-26y < 20 - 100
-26y < - 80
y > 80/26
y > 3.07
Therefore, she must finish 4 levels to have fewer than 20 points
