  1. Answer:

    40points

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given data

    Let the total points the team scored be x

    so that

    20% of x= 8 points

    let us solve for x

    20/100*x= 8

    0.2*x= 8

    0.2x= 8

    Divide both sides by 0.2

    x= 8/0.2

    x= 40 points

    Hence the time scored 40points
