Carly has averaged four goals per game for the first eight games of the indoor soccer season (which runs for 10 games)

She wants to finish the season with an average of 5 goals per game.

How many goals does she need to score in total in the last two games to achieve this?

Answer:

9

Explanation:

i did 8x4 which is 32

and knowing how to do averages i knew the total of the numbers was going to be divided by the amount of numbers, so i knew that it had to add up to 50 because 50/10 is 5.

so i knew i needed 18 more points, 18/2 = 9 so

4(8) + 9(2) = 32 + 18 = 50
