Answer 1

7.2

Explanation:

Answer 2

The entire team scored a total of 45 points

Explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating he total amount of points scored by a team if a particular single member had a particular score.

Since we do not know the number of points scored by the team , we call the number x

From the question, we know that 40% of x is what Alfonso scored which is equal to 18

Let's represent this mathematically;

40% of x = 18

40/100 × x = 18

40x = 1800

x = 1800/40

x = 45
