GMAT CLUB Official Explanation:
Say the number of goals scored by De Bruyne, Ronaldo, Mbappe and Messi be a, b, c, and d, respectively. Then we'd have:
- 27 goals were not scored by De Bruyne: \(27 = x - a\)
22 goals were not scored by Ronaldo: \(22 = x - b\)
20 goals were not scored by Mbappe: \(20 = x - c\)
18 goals were not scored by Messi: \(18 = x - d\)
Sum the above four equations:
- \(87 = 4x - a - b - c - d\)
Since \(x = a + b + c + d\) (we are told that together they scored x goals), then:
- \(87 = 4x - x\);
\(x=29\)
Hence, Messi scored:
- \(18 = x - d\);
\(18 = 29 - d\);
\(d=11\)
Answer: C.

IMO Answer - C (11)
Total goals are x. The goals scored by each player = x minus goals not scored by the player
DB = x - 27
RON = x - 22
MB = x - 20
MS = x - 18
The sum of their goals is x, so:
x = 4x - 87
Simplifying which, you get x = 29.
Messi's goals = 29 - 18 = 11
