Answer:

10 points

Explanation:

From the passage, we know:

1. Jay earned 15 points after spending $60

2. We want to know the number of points he can earn if he spends $40

We can set this up into proportions.

60:15 = 40:x

The x is the number of points he will get after spending $40.

15(40) = 60x

600 = 60x

x = 10

Jay will earn 10 points if he uses $40.
