Question

1. john is playing a board game where all the players pay him if he lands on a certain space. when he lands on that space, he has to roll two six - sided dice and add them together. that is the amount each player has to pay him. john lands on that space and then rolls a 6 and a 5. if he is playing with 4 other players and already has $123, how much will he have after each player pays him?

$167
$44
$156
$112

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the sum of the two dice

John rolled a 6 and a 5, so the sum of the two dice is $6 + 5 = 11$.

Step2: Calculate the total amount received from other players

There are 4 other players, and each pays $11. So the total amount received is $11\times4 = 44$.

Step3: Calculate the total amount John has

John already has $123, so after receiving the money from the other players, he has $123 + 44 = 167$? Wait, no, wait. Wait, the options have $167, $44, $156, $112. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's re - check. Wait, the sum of the dice is 6 + 5 = 11. Number of players: he is playing with 4 other players, so total players paying him is 4. So total payment is 11*4 = 44. Then his original amount is 123. So 123+44 = 167? But one of the options is $167. Wait, but the orange - marked option is $156. Wait, maybe I misread the number of players. Wait, the problem says "he is playing with 4 other players". So total people paying him is 4. Wait, maybe the dice sum is 6 and 5, sum is 11. 11*4 = 44. 123+44 = 167. So the correct answer should be $167.

Answer:

A. $167
