Question

There are 8 88 employees on The Game Shop's sales team. Last month, they sold a total of g gg games. One of the sales team members, Chris, sold 17 1717 fewer games than what the team averaged per employee. How many games did Chris sell? Write your answer as an expression

Answer 1

The number of games sold by Chris =
`((g)/(8)  - 17)`

Explanation:

The total number of employees in the team = 8

The total number of games sold by the whole team = g

The number of games sold by Chris = Average Games sold by each member - 17

Now,
`\textrm{Average number of games sold by each}  = \frac{\textrm{Total number of games sold by team}}{\textrm{Total number of people in team}}\\`

=
`(g)/(8)`

⇒The average number of games sold by each of the team member = g/8

Hence, the number of games sold by Chris =
`((g)/(8)  - 17)`
