Okay, here are the step-by-step workings:

* We are given that the total points scored is 900, and Lisa scored 400 more points than Katie.

* So we can represent this with the following equations:

l + k = 900 (total points is 900)

l = k + 400 (Lisa scored 400 more than Katie)

Where l = points Lisa scored and k = points Katie scored

* Plugging l = k + 400 into the first equation:

k + (k + 400) = 900

2k + 400 = 900

2k = 500

k = 250

* Since Lisa scored 400 more, l = k + 400

So, l = 250 + 400

l = 650

* Therefore, the answers are:

Katie scored 250 points

Lisa scored 650 points

The closest option is:

Katie = 250 and Lisa = 650
