I need this answer ASAP.

Let's think about this backwards. The mean of all 3 points is 40, so that is our answer. We instead of dividing would multiply. We would multiply by 3 'cause that's how many numbers there are. We would get 120. Finally, we would

3

have to subtract. We will do this problem:

20 + 30 = 50

120 - 50 = 70

So, we get our answer of 70!

Let's check our work!

20 + 30 + 70 = 120 = 40

Let's explain our work propproperly:

First, I took the mean and multiplied it by three because we have Noah, Mai, and Clare. Next, I added 20 and 30 to get an answer of 70 which is the answer. In conclusion, Clare's points are 70 points.
