Problem

On the AMC 8 contest Billy answers 13 questions correctly, answers 7 questions incorrectly and doesn't answer the last 5. What is his score?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 1\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 6\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 13\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 19\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 26$

Solution

As the AMC 8 only rewards 1 point for each correct answer, everythin is irrelevant except the number Billy answered correctly, $\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 13}$.
