The Marauders fooseball team is improving with each game. The first game they scored no points, but the second game they scored some goals. In their third game
they scored 8 more points than the second. Now in their last game they scored three
times as many points as their third. Altogether they scored 117 points!!! How many
points did they Marauders score in the third game?

25 points

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that the Marauders fooseball team is improving with each game and that in the first game theyscored no points, but the second game they scored some goals.

Let the number of points scored in the second game be y.

In their third game, they scored 8 more points than the second. This will be: y + 8.

Now in their last game, they scored three times as many points as their third. This will be:

= 3(y + 8)

= 3y + 24

Altogether they scored 117 points. This means that:

0 + y + y + 8 + 3y + 24 = 117

5y + 32 = 117

5y = 117 - 32

5y = 85

y = 85/5

y = 17

This means that in the second game, they scored 17 points.

Since we are told that in their third game they scored 8 more points than the second. This will be:

= 17 + 8

= 25 points

-7/8
