Respuesta :

Answer:

36 points. Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Jonathan scored 2/5th of the points of which his team had scored.

His team in the 1st game scored 55 points and 35 in the second.

The team combinedly scored 55+35=90 points.

Jonathan scored 2/5th of the 90 points

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] * 90= [tex]\frac{180}{5}[/tex]

= 36 points.
