Problem

A football game was played between two teams, the Cougars and the Panthers. The two teams scored a total of 34 points, and the Cougars won by a margin of 14 points. How many points did the Panthers score?

\text {(A) } 10 \qquad \text {(B) } 14 \qquad \text {(C) } 17 \qquad \text {(D) } 20 \qquad \text {(E) } 24

Solution

If the Cougars won by a margin of 14 points, then the Panthers' score would be half of (34-14). That's 10 \Rightarrow \text{(A)}.
