Answer 1

Solution :

Sally ' s basketball team has scored 30 points .

She is the top scorer 40% of the time ; this implies that she has scored a minimum of 40% of the total points her team made.

So,

Points scored by Sally = 40% of total team points

> 40% of 30

> 40/100 × 30

> 4/10 × 30

> 12 points.

Thus , Sally scored 12 points minimum in that basketball game .

This is the required answer.
