Question

Reuben has scored 18,27, and 19 points in his three basketball games so far. How many points does he need to score in his next game so that his average (mean) is 22 points per game?

Answer 1

The number of  points that he needs to have on his next game so that his average is 22 points per game is 24

What is the average score?

The average score is the sum of the scores divided by the number of games, in the case, there are three scores plus that of the next game, we would have four games in all, in essence, the average required in the next game can be computed thus:

mean score=total scores/number of games

let the score on the next game  be x

22=(18+27+19+x)/4

22=(64+x)/4

22*4=64+x

88=64+x

x=88-64

x=24
