Answer:

96 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio problems can be solved like this:

Let x equal an unknown value.

Now, we can write an equation.

7x + 10x +12x = 232

We want to find 12x, so we have to find x first. We can simplify our equation to:

29x = 232

Now, divide both sides by 29.

x=8

We then solve for 12x by multiplying 8 and 12, and get 96 points.
