Question

roger Scored 18 goals for his soccer team for the 2019 season. during games one and two, he scored 3 goals each game. How many goals did he average in the remaining games if he played in a total of 8 games?

Answer 1

2 goals per game

Step-by-step explanation

We are told that Roger scored 18 goals for his team in 8 games.

But he scored 3 goals each in the first 2 games.

We are then asked to calculate the number of goals he averaged per game in the remaining 6 games.

Average number of goals is given as

`\text{Average number of goalss = }\frac{Number\text{ of goals scored}}{Number\text{ of games played}}`

Number of goals scored in the remaining 6 games = 18 - 6 = 12

(Since we have to remove the number of goals he scored in the first two games to know the number of goals scored in the remaining 6 games)

Number of games played = 6

Average number of goals per game for the remaining 6 games

= (12/6)

= 2 goals per game.

Hope this Helps!!!
