Your question would be much easier to read if you'd used appropriate capitalization, spacing and punctuation.
30% = 0.3 = 3/10
1/5 = 2/10
2/10 + 3/10 = ____%
Please forget the % sign at the end.
To find the fraction of the team's points that were scored by Alan and Jake, we need to add up the fractions of points that each of them scored.
First, let's calculate the fraction of the team's points that Alan scored. We are given that Alan scored 1/5 of the team's points.
Next, let's calculate the fraction of the team's points that Jake scored. We are given that Jake scored 30% of the team's points. To convert this into a fraction, we need to divide 30 by 100. So, Jake scored 30/100 = 3/10 of the team's points.
Now, to find the fraction of the team's points scored by Alan and Jake combined, we need to add the fractions we calculated for Alan and Jake.
1/5 + 3/10 = 2/10 + 3/10 = 5/10.
Therefore, Alan and Jake combined scored 5/10 of the team's points.
