A dog is awarded 10 points for successfully completing three exercises: running through 4 pipes (p), making 10 jumps (j), and walking on 2 beams (b). The total points equation can be expressed as \(4p + 10j + 2b = 10\).
Roofy earns 9 points after missing one pipe, which means missing one pipe reduces the points by 1. So, \(p = 1\).
Ralph earns 7 points after missing one pipe and one beam, which means missing one pipe and one beam reduces the points by 3. Therefore, \(p + b = 3\). Since \(p = 1\), we have \(b = 2\).
Substituting these values into \(4p + 10j + 2b = 10\) gives \(4*1 + 10j + 2*2 = 10\), which simplifies to \(j = 0.2\). Therefore, if Butch misses 4 jumps but completes the rest of the exercises perfectly, he will earn \(10 - 4j =10 - 4*0.2 = 9.2\) points.

Here is how I did it:
Clearly, from the info,
One pipe missed lead to 9 points. So, 4 pipes are worth 4 points in total.
2 beams are worth 4 points as well in total, since missing one beam lead to a loss of 2 points.
That's 8 points so far. 2 points remaining.
Consequently, 10 jumps = 2 points.
10j = 2
j = 2/10 = 1/5. This is the value of each jump.
Butch only misses 4 jumps, but does the rest of the exercise perfectly.
So, his 8 points are secure. From the 4 jumps he's missed, his loss in points will be: 4 * 1/5 = 4/5 = 0.80.
10-0.80 = 9.20.
