Answer:

Maria's score be in her next (FIFTH) game is 64 points.

Explanation:

The scores obtained by Maria in four games is :

76 , 73 , 70 and 67.

Now, from the above data , we can see that:

The score of (FIRST GAME - SECOND GAME) = 76 - 73 = 3 points

The score of (SECOND GAME - THIRD GAME) = 73 - 70 = 3 points

The score of (THIRD GAME -FOURTH GAME) = 70 - 67 = 3 points

So, continuing in the same way:

The score of (FOURTH GAME - FIFTH GAME) = 3 points

or, 67 - Score of fifth game = 3 points

or, Score of fifth game = 67 - 3 = 64 points.

Hence, Maria's score be in her next (FIFTH) game is 64 points.
