Answer:

The total number of points gained are 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are in all 50 questions.

She got 45 questions correct and 5 questions wrong.

For every correct question she earns 1 point.

So the gained points are [tex]45 X 1 = 45[/tex] points.

But, she lost 5 questions, for which 2 points are deducted.

So the points reduced are, [tex]5 X 2 = 10[/tex] points.

Also, at the end She managed to get the 3 credit questions correct, each of 5 points.

So the gained points are [tex]3 X 5 = 15[/tex] points.

Thus the total points are,

[tex]45 - 10 +15 = 50[/tex] points.
