Question

A basketball team needs to score more than 725 total points this season to set a new record. The team has already scored 165 points and it averages 70 points per game. How many more games does the team need to play if in order to set a new record? Assume the teams average number of points scored per game does not change.

Select the number line that includes the fewest number of games the team can play and still set the record.

Answer 1

The answer
D because they need to play 8 games

Answer 2

D.

Explanation:

First, let's work out how many points they have to go. 725 - 165 = 560.

If they average 70 points per game, you'll need to divide 560 by 70.

560 / 70 = 8. Therefore, the team needs to play 8 or more games to get at least 725 points.
