From this problem we know that the base score is 500 points since Mica start with this score.

After 1 game the score is 550 so then the score for win 1 mini game is:

[tex]\text{Score}=550-500=50[/tex]

And we can verify this since 600-550=50 and 650-600=50

Part a

We can conclude that the points that Mica earn on each mini game are 50

Part b

After 1 game: 550

After 2 games: 600

After 3 games: 650

Next two mini games

After 4 games: 700

After 5 games: 750
