Explanation:

Step1: Find Noah's points

Noah scores three times as many as Mai. Mai scores 5, so Noah's points: $3\times5 = 15$.

Step2: Find Tyler's points

Tyler scores 4 fewer than Noah. So Tyler's points: $15 - 4 = 11$.

Elena scores twice as many as Tyler. So Elena's points: $2\times11 = 22$.

22
