D. 45



Answer :

To find the sum of Samara's scores for the 11 games, we need to add all the numbers together. Let's break it down step by step to ensure we find the correct total.

Here are the scores for each game:
[tex]\[ 5, 7, 9, 3, 1, 3, 9, 8, 5, 2, 3 \][/tex]

Start by adding the first few numbers:
[tex]\[ 5 + 7 = 12 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 12 + 9 = 21 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 21 + 3 = 24 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 24 + 1 = 25 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 25 + 3 = 28 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 28 + 9 = 37 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 37 + 8 = 45 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 45 + 5 = 50 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 50 + 2 = 52 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 52 + 3 = 55 \][/tex]

So, when we add all these numbers together, we get a total score of 55. Therefore, the sum of her scores is:

[tex]\[ \boxed{55} \][/tex]
