Problema Solution
for a certain system of rating relief pitchers, 3 points are awarded for a save, 3 points are awarded for a win, 2 points are subtracted for a loss, and 2 points are subtracted for a blown save. if a pitcher has 4 saves, 3 wins, 2 lossesm and 1 blown save, how many points does he have?
Answer provided by our tutors
4 saves bring 4*3 = 12 points
3 wins bring 3*3 = 9 points
2 losses bring 2*(-2) = - 4 points
1 blown save brings 1*(-2) = - 2 points
altogether:
12 + 9 + (-4) + (-2) = 21 + (-6) = 21 - 6 = 15 points
the pitcher has 15 points.
