joe is playing a game with a regular die. If the number that turns up is even he will gain 5 times the number that comes up. If it is odd, he will lose 10 times the number that comes up. He tosses a 3
since he rolled an odd number, he will lose 10 times the number he rolled. he rolled 3, which means he lost 30 points. you get that by multiplying 3 and 10.
