Answer 2

"The attendance increased by an average of 25 people per game from game 2 to game 5"

Explanation:

2nd game had attendance of 680

5th game had attendance of 755

THe increase in number is:

755 - 680 = 75 people

From 2nd to 5th, it is 3 games, so to find PER GAME attendance increase, we divide the increase by number of games. That is:

75/3 = 25

Hence,

"The attendance increased by an average of 25 people per game from game 2 to game 5"
