- Flynn
(a)
Total score of Albert and John
= 78 x 2
= 156
Total score of John and Zeph
= 70.2 x 2
= 140.4
Total score of Albert, John and Zeph

= 57
(b)
Albert's score
= 213 - 140.4
= 72.6
(c)
John's score

= 83.4
(d)
Total score of Flynn and Zeph
= 67 x 2
= 134
Flynn's score
= 134 - 57
= 77
Answer(s): (a) 57; (b) 72.6; (c) 83.4; (d) 77
