Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
Each shot can get any of the 4 scores.
If there was only one shot, then number of total scores possible = 4 = 4^1
They are 1, 5, 10 and 25
If there was were 2 shots, then number of total scores possible = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 = 4^2
They are
1 + 1, 1 + 5, 1 + 10, 1 + 25
5 + 1, 5 + 5, 5 + 10, 5 + 25
10 + 1, 10 + 5, 10 + 10, 10 + 25
25 + 1, 25 + 5, 25 + 10, 25 + 25
So, for 4 shots the possible number of total scores = 4^4 = 256
ANSWER: 256 total scores are possible
