Answer:

128

Explanation:

Sue's average for 9 games of bowling is 108. Therefore, the total scores for the 9 games is:


= 108 * 9


= 972

To have an average of 110 in 10 games, her total score will be:


= 110 * 10


= 1100

Therefore, the lowest score that she can get will be the difference between the values calculated above and this will be:


= 1100 - 972


\bold{= 128}
