in a basketball game , tim scored 20 points more than joe , but only half as many points as ken . if the 3 players scored a combined total of 100 points , how many points did tim score ?	Pick:
A) 15	B) 20	C) 25	D) 30	E) 45

Rationale: let joe scored point = x then tim scored = x + 20 ken scored = 2 * ( x + 20 ) = 2 x + 40 as given , x + x + 20 + 2 x + 40 = 100 points 4 x + 60 = 100 x = 100 - 60 / 4 = 10 so tim scored = x + 20 i . e ) 10 + 20 = 30 answer : d
