Answer 1

(75 * 3) + 55 + 104 + 85 + 3.

75 * 3, because each race is 75 points.

And now I am confused. "deductions"?

Explanation:

Answer 2

Mario has -16 points.

Explanation:

Race car driver Mario won 3 races and earned 75 points for each win.

Total points won =
`75*3=225`

During the fourth race he had deductions of 55 points 104 points and 85 points but earned 3 points for finishing.

Total points Mario has now =
`225+(-55)+(-104)+(-85)+3`

= -16 points

Therefore, Mario has -16 points.
