Lola plays basketball on her school team. Her team scored twice at many points at their last home game than their first away game. At the second away game, they scored eighteen points more than the previous away game. At the third away game, they scored two more points than at their second. If Lola’s team scored 62 points at their last home game, how many points do they have to score in their next game to bring their cumulative points up to four times the score from their last home game?
At their following away game, Lola’s team scored half as many points as at their home game, so they scored 62 / 2 = <<62/2=31>>31 points.
At the second away game, they scored 31 + 18 = <<31+18=49>>49 points.
At the third away game, they scored 49 + 2 = <<49+2=51>>51 points.
A cumulative score of four times their last home game is 4 * 62 = <<4*62=248>>248 points.
Thus, Lola’s team has to score 248 - 193 = <<248-193=55>>55 points to bring their cumulative points up to 248.
