    Answer:

    Jerome was penalized 4 times.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

    Each penalty changes her score by 5 points. Her score was changed by 20 points. How many penalties?

    1 penalty – 5 points

    x penalties – 20 points

    5x = 20

    x = \frac{20}{5}

    x = 4

    Jerome was penalized 4 times.
