Answer:

Explanation:

Start at the end and work backwards to do this one. Mai scored 5 points.

If Noah scores three times what Mai scores, then:

Noah = 3(5) = 15

If Tyler scores 4 points less than Noah, then:

Tyler = 15 - 4 = 11

If Elena scores twice what Tyler scores, then:

Elena = 2(11) = 22
