Question

Deshaun has scored 20, 21, 25, 18, and 17 points in his five basketball games so far. How many points does he need to score in his next game so that his average (mean) is 20 points per game?​

Answer 1

19 points

Explanation:

Let points needed in next game be P.

Then,

20 + 21 + 25 + 18 + 17 + P / 6 = 20

101 + P = 120

P = 120 - 101

P = 19
