Question

In Theresa's first 8 basketball games, she scored 7,4,3,6,8,3,1 and 5 points. In her

ninth game, she scored fewer than 10 points and her points-per-game average for the nine
games was an integer. In her tenth game, she scored fewer than 10 points and her points-per-
game average for the ten games was an integer. What is the product of the number of points
she scored in the ninth and tenth games?

Answer 1

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation: The total number of points from the first 8 games is 7+4+3+6+8+3+1+5=37.

We have to make this a multiple of 9 by scoring less than 10 points.

The closest multiple of 9 is 45. 45-37=8.

Now we have to add a number to get a multiple of 10.

The next multiple is 50 we added 5, multiplying these together you get 8 x 5 is 40.
