Question

In a basketball match a team average 67 points over 10 games. After the next game the average is 68 points.
How many points did they score in the game?​

Answer 1

Answer:

78 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = sum of the 10 scores

x/10 = 67

x /10 *10 = 67* 10 = 670

The sum of the 10 scores is 670

Now we play 1 more game and score g

We want to find the average  for the 11 games

The average is 68

(670 + g)/11 = 68

Multiply each side by 11

(670+g)/11 *11 = 68*11

670+g =748

Subtract 670 from each side

670+g-670 = 748-670

g =78
