An archer’s score is calculated by the formula $$\frac{50b-10a}{10+s}$$, where b is the number of bull’s-eyes hit, a is the total number of arrows shot, and s is the time in seconds it took the archer to shoot. By how many points would an archer who took 10 seconds to shoot 10 arrows and hit all bull’s-eyes beat an archer who shot twice as many arrows and hit half as many bull’s-eyes in 15 seconds?

(A) 2
(B) 7
(C) 10
(D) 18
(E) 20

Explanation

Calculate each of the archer’s scores by plugging in the appropriate values for b, a, and s.

For the first archer, b = a = s = 10 and the score is $$\frac{50 \times 10 -10 \times 10}{10+10}=\frac{400}{20}=20$$.

For the second archer, b = half of 10 = 5, a = twice as many as 10 = 20, and s = 15.

The score for the second archer is $$\frac{50 \times 5 -10 \times 20}{10+15}=\frac{50}{25}=2$$. The difference in scores is 20 – 2 = 18.
