Full question:

In a basketball game, Elena scores twice as many points as Tyler. Tyler scores four points fewer than Noah, and Noah scores three times as many points as Mai. If Mai scores 5 points, how many points did Elena score? Explain your reasoning

Answer and explanation:

We start from known to unknown. We know that Mai scored 5 points and so we work from here.

Since Mai scored 5 points and Noah scored three times as many points then Noah's score = 3×5= 15 points

Since Tyler scored four points less than Noah, Noah's score= 15-4= 11 points

Finally Elena's score is twice that of Tyler hence Elena's score =2×11= 22 points
