Answer:

The correct answer is 24.

Explanation:

Jose wants to have an average mean of 25 points per game in his 6 basket ball matches.

Total points Jose plans to achieve in 6 games is 25 × 6 = 150.

Points score by him in the first five matches are 28, 24, 26, 27 and 21.

Total points in 5 matches is 126.

Thus the points he need to score in his next game to have an average mean of 25 is given by 150 - 126 = 24.
