My question is: Students at Highridge High earn 2 points for each correct answer during a quiz bowl If a student correctly answers all the questions in a round, the student is awarded an additional 4 point bonus. They played a total of five rounds each consisting of five questions. If James only missed one question, how many points did he get? Your thoughts:

If James only missed one question in all five rounds of five questions, he correctly answered 5 * 5 - 1 = 24 questions. Before the bonus, James earned 24 correct answers * 2 points / answer = 48 points. Since missing one question would only disqualify him from receiving a bonus in one round, he would earn a bonus for 5 - 1 = 4 rounds. He should expect a bonus of 4 rounds * 4 points / round = 16 points. Including his bonus, James scored a total of 48 + 16 = 64 points. The final answer: 66.
