Question

In their first four basketball games of the season, the Mudville Five averaged $73$ points per game. Their fifth game brought their average up to $76$ points per game. What was their score in the fifth game

Answer 1

88 points

Explanation:

score of fifth game = total point in fifth game - total point in fourth game

Total point in games = average number of points x number of games

(76 x 5) - (73 x 4)

= 380 - 292

= 88 points
