Respuesta :

Answer:

The team scored 50 points

Step-by-step 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 = [tex]30\% \times x[/tex]

Sally scored points = [tex]\frac{30}{100}x[/tex]

We are given that Sally scored 15 points

So, [tex]\frac{30}{100}x=15[/tex]

[tex]30x=1500[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{1500}{30}[/tex]

x=50

Hence The team scored 50 points
