Question

after George played 6 games he had earned a total of less than 168 point he earned the same number of points during each game what is the greatest number of points George could have earned during each game to the nearest whole point?

Answer 1

The greatest number of points George could have earned during each game=27 points

Explanation:

Step 1

The total number of points earned can be expressed as;

T>P×N

where;

T=total number of points

P=number of points per game

N=number of games

In our case;

T=168 points

P=p

N=6 games

replacing;

168>p×6

6 p<168

p<168/6

p<28 points per game

The next whole number that's less than 28 is 27

The greatest number of points George could have earned during each game=27 points
