Respuesta :

Answer: Jasmine's score is given by

[tex]3(x-12)=3(99-12)=3\times 87=261[/tex]

And Waldo's score = 99

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Waldo's score be x

Let Jasmine's score be 3(x-12)

According to question,

[tex]x+3(x-12)=360\\\\x+3x-36=360\\\\4x-36=360\\\\4x=360+36\\\\4x=396\\\\x=\frac{396}{4}\\\\x=99[/tex]

So,

Jasmine's score is given by

[tex]3(x-12)=3(99-12)=3\times 87=261[/tex]

And Waldo's score = 99
