In a certain beanbag game, players toss beanbags at a board with a hole in it. If the beanbag falls into the hole, the player scores 5 points. A beanbag that lands on the board but misses the hole is worth 2 points. If a toss misses the board entirely, 1 point is deducted from the player’s score. Julianna had 20 tosses and missed the board with 3 throws. Her total score was 52. How many times did she toss the beanbag into the hole?

OA is B
HE SCORED 52
And tossed 20 times in total.
He missed 3 times
So he scored from 17 shots.
Let X be the no. Of shots in hole.
Y be the no. Of shots on board.
So, equation will be
5x+2y=52
Put the options one by one.
5(5)+2(12)=49 (5+12=17shots)
5(6)+2(11)=52 (correct)
5(7)+2(10)=55 (incorrect)
5(8)+2(9)=58 (incorrect)
5(9)+2(8)=61 (incorrect)
OA is B i.e. 6 times

The required equation is \(5*x + 2*y - 3*1 = 52\)
\(5*x + 2*y = 55\)
x has to be an odd integer. (5,7 or 9 could be the answer)
checking for 7, \(5*7+2*y = 55\); y =10
so total number of tosses = 7 + 10 + 3 = 20; matches with given information.
Ans: C
