Question

At the end of 10 basketball games, a teams mean score is 35 points per game. At the end of 11 games, their mean score has gone down to 33 points per game. How many points did the team score in the 11th game?

Answer 1

Their total points for the first 10 games were

(10) x (35) = 350 total .

Their total points after 11 games were

(11) x (33) = 363 total .

They must have scored (363 - 350) = 13 points in that 11th game.

I hate to say it, but these kids and their coach are in the wrong game.
