Question 12012: Help me solve this word problem:
In a basketball game Kyle scored 4 more than 1/5 as many points as Kurt. If Kyle scored 12 points how many points did Kurt score? Answer by drbradley08(1) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Work backwards.
Kyle scored 12 points.
Multiply 12 by 5 which gives you 60.
Subtract 4 from 60 which gives you 56.
Therefore Kurt scored 56 points.
