Q:

The highest score in an inning was  3/11 of the total and the next highest was 3/11 of the reminder . If the score  differ by 9, the total score was :

A) 110 B) 121
C) 132 D) 143

Answer:   B) 121



Explanation:

Let the score be x. Then the highest score = 3x/11.

Reminder = (x - 3x/11) = 8x/11 .Next the highest score = 3/11 of 8x/11 = 24x/121.

3x/11 - 24x/11 = 9 <=> 33x - 24x = 9*121 <=> x= 121..

there is a mistake in your answer. how can 24x/121 can suddenly turn into 24x/11 in the next step?
I have a solution for this question.
(3x/11- 24x/121)*121 = 9*121
(33x/121 - 24x/121)*121 = 1089
(9x/121)*121 = 1089
9x = 1089
x = 121
