In golf there is a number of strokes assigned to each hole, called the par for that hole. If you get the ball in the hole in fewer strokes than par your are under par for the hole. If it takes you More strokes then the par you are over par for the whole. On the first nine holes of golf, Avery had a par, one over par, two under par, another par, one under par one over par, three over par, two under par, and one under par. What addition expression would represent all 9 holes? What is Avery's score relative to par

Avery is 1 under par or - 1.

What we need to do to solve this is turn each of her scores into a number. If it says under par, we make it a negative. If it says over par, we make it a positive. If it is even par, it is a 0. The following should be her statement.

0 + 1 - 2 + 0 - 1 + 1 + 3 - 2 - 1

Which is equal to - 1.
