In a computer game if we hit a balloon we get 500 points, and if we miss the balloon, we lose 300 points. Raj hits 20 balloons and misses 40 balloons. Find his net score.

Options

A. 2000
B. `-2000`
C. `1000`
D. `-1000`

Answer

To find Raj's net score in the computer game, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate Points from Hits
Raj hits 20 balloons, and for each hit, he earns 500 points.

\[ \text{Total points from hits} = \text{Number of hits} \times \text{Points per hit} \]
\[ \text{Total points from hits} = 20 \times 500 = 10000 \text{ points} \]

### Step 2: Calculate Points Lost from Misses
Raj misses 40 balloons, and for each miss, he loses 300 points.

\[ \text{Total points lost from misses} = \text{Number of misses} \times \text{Points lost per miss} \]
\[ \text{Total points lost from misses} = 40 \times 300 = 12000 \text{ points} \]

### Step 3: Calculate Net Score
To find the net score, we subtract the total points lost from the total points earned.

\[ \text{Net Score} = \text{Total points from hits} - \text{Total points lost from misses} \]
\[ \text{Net Score} = 10000 - 12000 = -2000 \text{ points} \]

### Final Answer
Raj's net score is \(-2000\) points.
