Final answer:
Elmo scored 189 total points from 88 field goals and 13 free throws in 7 basketball games. We calculated this by multiplying the number of field goals (88) by 2 and then adding the number of free throws (13) to find the total points scored.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question requires us to calculate the total points scored by Elmo in 7 basketball games through field goals and free throws. Elmo scored 88 field goals, and since each field goal is worth 2 points, the total points from field goals is 88 multiplied by 2. Also, he scored 13 free throws, with each free throw worth 1 point.
So, the calculation for the field goals is: 88 field goals x 2 points/field goal = 176 points from field goals.
And the calculation for the free throws is: 13 free throws x 1 point/free throw = 13 points from free throws.
To get the total points, we add the points from field goals and points from free throws: 176 points + 13 points = 189 total points. Therefore, Elmo scored a total of 189 points in the 7 basketball games.
