Answer 1

7.44 points

set up equation

we know the total score and the scores for two levels

to find the total score, we would add up the points from all levels

total score = level1 + level2 + level3

values

these values are given in the problem

total score = 23.43

level2 = 7.96

level3 = 8.03

plug in values and solve

total score = level1 + level2 + level3

23.43 = level1 + 7.96 + 8.03

level 1 = 23.43 - 7.96 - 8.03

level 1 = 7.44
