For this task, we were required to compare a country's total medal score with New Zealands score. We looked at the different scores and picked one of the country's to compare. My group and I picked to compare the scores with the USA. The total medal tally for USA was 2673 whereas the total New Zealand medal score is 95. With these numbers in mind, we found out how many times we could multiply 95 to get as close to 2673 as we could. Doing this will draw the line of our comparision. First I found out what 95 x 20 was. 95 x 20 = 1900. After doing so, I added 1900 more to 1900. Which got me to 3800. Seeing this passed the total score for USA, I did 95 x 10 which was 950. If I added 950 to 1900 it would get me to 2850 which was also above the total score. With this in mind, I subtracted 95 however many times until getting the closest number to the total USA score. I subtracted 95 two more times (190), which would get me to 2660 with the remainder of 13.
