Question

Delbert keeps track of total of the total number of points he earns on homework assignments, each of which is worth 60 points. At the end of the semester he has 810 points. Write an equation for Delbert’s average homework score A in terms of the number of assignments n.

Answer 1

`A=(810)/(n)`

Explanation:

Let A represent the Delbert's average homework score and n represent the number of assignments.

We are also told that at the end of the semester he has 810 points. To find the average we need to divide sum by the count.

`\text {Average}=\frac{\text{Total sum of all the points}}{\text{Total number of assignments}}`

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

`A=(810)/(n)`

Therefore, the equation
`A=(810)/(n)` represents Delbert’s average homework score A in terms of the number of assignments n.
