Answer:

The team scored 50 points

Explanation:

Let the points scored by team be x

We are given that sally was the top scorer woth 30% of the teams points

So, Sally scored points =
30\% * x

Sally scored points =
(30)/(100)x

We are given that Sally scored 15 points

So,
(30)/(100)x=15


30x=1500


x=(1500)/(30)

x=50

Hence The team scored 50 points
