Answer (2)

Total points scored in 2 games by Sue = 35 Let the number of points Sue scored in 1st game = X The number of points scored by Sue in 2nd game = 6X So X+6X=35 7X=35 X=5 Then Points scored in 1st game by Sue = 5 Points scored by Sue in second game = 6*5 = 30 The number of points Sue scored more in the second game = 30-5 = 25

Sue scored 5 points in the first game and 30 points in the second game. She scored 25 more points in the second game than in the first game. This is calculated by setting up an equation to represent the relationship between the points scored in both games.
