1. Total score: 190
1. Frame 1 is a strike, so it scores 10 plus a bonus from the next two balls (6 and 4), added to the running total of 0
  $0 + (10 + 6 + 4)$ $= 20$
2. Frame 2 is a spare (6 /), so it scores 10 plus a bonus from the next ball (1), added to the running total of 20
  $20 + (10 + 1)$ $= 31$
3. Frame 3 is open (1 6), with no strike or spare, so it scores just the pins knocked down, added to the running total of 31
  $31 + (1 + 6)$ $= 38$
