The correct Answer is:
To find Jack's total score after five rounds, we will add his scores together. The scores are: 25, -5, -10, 15, and 10. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **List the Scores**: - Jack's scores are: 25, -5, -10, 15, 10. 2. **Add the Positive Scores First**: - The positive scores are 25, 15, and 10. - Calculate: \[ 25 + 15 + 10 = 50 \] 3. **Add the Negative Scores**: - The negative scores are -5 and -10. - Calculate: \[ -5 + (-10) = -15 \] 4. **Combine Positive and Negative Totals**: - Now, we will combine the total of positive scores with the total of negative scores: - Calculate: \[ 50 + (-15) = 50 - 15 = 35 \] 5. **Final Total**: - Therefore, Jack's total score at the end is **35**.
