Answer 2

A basketball player had scored 865 points in 31 games.The rate at which he scored points per game is 27.90

Solution:

Let us consider, the total number of points scored by the player is P.

Let the total matches he played is M.

In order to find the points scored by player per game in a match, we have to divide total points scored by the player in all his played matches by total matches played.

The Rate scored by the player per game is given as,

`= \bold{\frac{\text {total points scored by the player in all matches}}{\text { total matches played }}}`

In our given problem the total matches played by player = 31 Games.

The total points scored by the player in all matches = 865 points.

Hence, the rate at which the player scored points =
`(865)/(31)` = 27.90

Hence, the rate of points scored by player per game is 27.90
