Question

Is the answer A, B, C or D?

Answer 1

A. He will break the record by 36 yards.

Explanation:

Last year:

average yards per game: 280 yards

Increase by 25%:

average yards = 125% of 280 yd = 1.25 * 280 yd = 350 yd

By increasing the yards per game by 25% he will have an average of 350 yd per game this year.

The school record is 3,114 yd, so the average per game for a 9-game season is: 3,114 yd/9 = 346 yd.

He will pass the record by 350 yd - 346 yd = 4 yd per game.

In a 9-game season, he will break the record by 9 * 4 yd = 36 yd.

Answer: A. He will break the record by 36 yards.

Answer 2

A. this is because when you multiple 280 by 9 you get 2,520 and to get 25% multiple that number by .25 and get 630, add 2520 and 630 to get 3150 ,, subtract 3114 from 3150 to get 36
