    In a golf tournament Ned was 4 under par on Saturday and 5 over or on Sunday. What is the difference in his score on Sunday compared to his score on Saturday

    Givens and opening thoughts:
    • Think of par as 0 or average.
    • Under par is negative
    • Over par is positive
    • We have 4 under par as -4
    • We have 5 over par as +5
    The difference is found by subtracting:
    +5 - -4
    +5 + 4
    9 strokes
