Problema Solution

A basketball player averaged 20 points a game over the course of six games.His scores in five of those games were 23,18,16,24, and 27. How many points did he score in the sixth game?

Answer provided by our tutors

average = 20

no of games = 6  

sum  = 20* 6 = 120

 

scores of five games  = 23+ 18+16+24+27 = 108

hence score of 6th game = 120-108 = 12
