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

= 128
