Question

A basketball team needs to score more than 857 total points this season to set a new record. The team has already scored 167 points and it averages 69 points per game. How many more games does the team need to play if in order to set a new record? Assume the teams average number of points scored per game does not change. Select the number line that includes the fewest number of games the team can play and still set the record.
A) 12
B) 9
C) 11
D) 10

Answer 1

The answer is 11 because they need 857 total points and they already have 167 points so what you do is 857-167=710 then 710 divided by 69=11
