Question

2 Dante plays basketball. After 3 games, he had scored 25 points and after 7 games he had scored 60 points. If Dante continues to score points at this pace, what is a reasonable projection for his total points scored after 24 games?

Answer 1

Dante's average points per game after 7 games is approximately 8.57. Multiplying this by 24 games gives a projection of about 206 points in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about point projection in basketball plays. Dante scored 25 points after 3 games, which gives an average of about 8.33 points per game. After 7 games, he scored 60 points, which gives an average of about 8.57 points per game. Considering these averages, we can use the latter average to project Dante's performance as it's based on more games.

To project Dante's total points after 24 games, we use the formula:

Total Points = Average Points per Game × Number of Games

Projection = 8.57 points/game × 24 games = approximately 205.68 points.

It is reasonable to estimate that Dante will have scored around 206 points after 24 games if he continues to score at this pace.
