当欧几里得高中中的最后一场篮球赛结束,有14\frac{1}{4}的得分确认是 Alexa 贡献,而27\frac{2}{7}是由 Brittany 贡献的,Chelsea 得到15分.剩下的队里7个人没有超过2分的.问剩下七个人的总得分是多少?

Denote the total number students as TT.

0⩽T−14T−27T−15⩽140 \leqslant T - \frac{1}{4}T - \frac{2}{7}T - 15 \leqslant 14

15⩽1328T⩽2915 \leqslant \frac{13}{28}T \leqslant 29

Note that T is an integer, so this 13T must be divisible by 13. Only multiple of 13 is 26. The score by the the other 7 team members is 26-15 = 11.

Answer

B. 11
