You look at the results of the track meet and see where we can put C. We see that in event #3, Team C is going to earn 3 points. We know in event #2, the only spot left for Team C is third, so it will only earn one point. Therefore, in event #1, C could either get second place and 3 points or third place and 1 point. So, we have two choices: C could either earn 7 points or it could earn five points.
