Question

Answer 1

g/8 - 17

Explanation:

Total number of employees = 8

Total games sold for last month = g

Average number of games sold per employee = Total games sold for last month / Total number of employees

= g / 8

Average number of games sold per employee = g/8

Chris sold 17 fewer games than what the team averaged per employee

How many games did Chris sell?

Number of games Chris sold = g/8 - 17

= g-136/8

= (g-136)/8

The expression which represent number of games Chris sold = g/8 - 17
