To determine the total number of points Samara scored in 11 games in a row, we need to add up the points from each game. The scores she wrote down are:
[tex]\[
5 + 7 + 9 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 9 + 8 + 5 + 2 + 3
\][/tex]
Let's add these scores step-by-step to find the total score:
1. Start with the first two scores:
[tex]\[
5 + 7 = 12
\][/tex]
2. Add the next score to the current sum:
[tex]\[
12 + 9 = 21
\][/tex]
3. Add the next score:
[tex]\[
21 + 3 = 24
\][/tex]
4. Add the next score:
[tex]\[
24 + 1 = 25
\][/tex]
5. Add the next score:
[tex]\[
25 + 3 = 28
\][/tex]
6. Add the next score:
[tex]\[
28 + 9 = 37
\][/tex]
7. Add the next score:
[tex]\[
37 + 8 = 45
\][/tex]
8. Add the next score:
[tex]\[
45 + 5 = 50
\][/tex]
9. Add the next score:
[tex]\[
50 + 2 = 52
\][/tex]
10. Finally, add the last score:
[tex]\[
52 + 3 = 55
\][/tex]
Thus, the total number of points Samara scored in the 11 games is:
[tex]\[
55
\][/tex]
Therefore, the sum of her scores is 55.
