Answer:

Chris Sold = g/8 - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 employees on The Game Shop's sales team. Last month, they sold a total of g games. One of the sales team members, Chris, sold 1 7 fewer games than what the team averaged per employee. How many games did Chris sell?

Total Employees = 8

Total Games Sold = g

Team Average = g/8

Chris Sold = g/8 - 17

Now exact number depend upon Value of g

if g = 136 then Chris sold = 0

g = 144 then Chris sold = 1

g = 152 then Chris sold = 2

g = 200 then Chris sold = 8
