Question

There are 8 boys on Kenny's basketball team. * The boys scored a total of 612 points. * The first 7 boys scored the same number of points. * Kenny scoured four more points than each of his 7 teammates. How many points did each of the 7 boys score?

Answer 1

Answer: 76 points

Explanation:

Ley the points of each of the 7 boys be x. Therefore, the points of the 7 boys will be: = 7 × x = 7x

Since Kenny scored four more points than each of his 7 teammates. His point will be: x + 4

Therefore, 7x + x + 4 = 612

8x + 4 = 612

8x = 612 - 4

8x = 608

x = 608/8

x = 76

Each of the boys scored 76 points
