Together, Louisa and Jill scored more than 30 points in the basketball game. If Jill scored 12 points, how many points P did Louisa score? A. P > 18 B. P > 42 C. P < 42 D. P < 18

The answer would be A. If their total is 30 points, then the sum of their shots taken has to be more than 30. Knowing that Jill scored 12, Louisa would have to score at least 18 shots to make the equation true.
