Question

a basketball team scores 86 points a game for 2017-2018 season. the coach wants to see a 20% increase in scoring for 2018-2019 season. how many points must the team score on average to meet this goal?

Answer 1

103 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total points scored in 2017-2018 = 86 points

If there is 20% increasein 2018-2019

Increment = 20% of 86

Increment =0.2 * 86

Increment = 17.2

Average number of points needed to be scored to meet the goal = 86 + 17.2

Average number of points needed to be scored to meet the goal = 103.2

Hence the average number of points needed to be scored to meet the goal is 103 points
