Question

Norm Johnson played in the NFL For 16 years. Write and solve an equation to find how many points he averaged each year. YOU MUST SHOW THE WORK YOU DID (explanation) TO GET THE 50 POINTS

Answer 1

108.5 points per year.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of points scored per year by Norm Johnson.

We are also told that Norm Johnson played in the NFL for 16 years. So the number of points scored by Norm Johnson in 16 years will be 16x.

We can see from table that total number of points scored by Norm Johnson is 1736. We can represent this information as:

`16x=1736`

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 16 we will get the average number of points scored by Norm Johnson.

`(16x)/(16)=(1736)/(16)`

`x=108.5`

Therefore, Norm Johnson averaged 108.5 points per year.
