Question

Ryan plays basketball. Last year he averaged 22.8 points per game during his team’s 20 game

season. The schools record for total points scored in a season is 500 points. If Ryan increases his
scoring by 25%, will he break the school’s record? Show all work to support your conclusion.

Answer 1

He would break the school record by 70 points.

Explanation:

22.8*20= 456

456*.25= 114 (how many points he would be getting if he increased his scoring by 25%)

456+114= 570
