Question

Felipe, an NFL running back, averaged 100 yards per game last season. This season, with a 26% decrease, what is his average yards per game now?

a) 74
b) 76
c) 80
d) 84

Answer 1

Felipe's average yards per game is now 74.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Felipe's average yards per game now, we need to calculate the 26% decrease in his average from last season. Start by finding 26% of 100 yards:

26% of 100 = 0.26 x 100 = 26

Subtract this decrease from his average last season:

100 - 26 = 74

Therefore, Felipe's average yards per game now is 74, so the answer is a) 74.
