Answer:

outer ring worth 14 pts

bull's-eye worth 74.333333 pts

Step-by-step explanation:

let the worth point of landing an arrow on the outer ring be "x" and on bull's eye be "y"

For amelia

[tex]3x + 3y = 267[/tex]

For joey

[tex]4x + 3y = 281[/tex]

subtracting the first equation from the second

[tex]x = 14[/tex]

[tex]3x + 3y = 267[/tex]

[tex]42 + 3y = 267[/tex]

[tex]3y = 223[/tex]

[tex]y = 74.333[/tex]
