Answer: 45 points

Explanation:

Let the point of the entire team be represented by x.

Alfonso scored 18 points during his last basketball game, which was 40% of the points the entire team scored. This can then be represented in an equation as:

40% of x = 18

40% × x = 18

40/100 × x = 18

0.4 × x = 18

0.4x = 18

x = 18/0.4

x = 45

The team's total point is 45
