Answer: The approximate values that every player make are,
Tammy = grace = 5.43 baskets
Jenny = 16.30 Baskets
Alex = 11.43 Baskets
Joan = 1.43
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Grace made x baskets.
Then According to the question,
Jenny made baskets = 3x
Alexis made basket = x + 6
Joan made basket = x - 4
Tammy made baskets = x
Since, Altogether the five players made 40 baskets.
⇒ x+ 3x + x + 6 + x - 4 + x = 40
⇒ 7x + 2 = 40
⇒ 7x = 38
⇒ x = 38 / 7 = 5.42857142857 ≈ 5.43
Thus, Grace made baskets= Tammy made baskets = x = 5.43
Jenny made baskets = 3 × x = 16.2857142857 ≈ 16.30
Alexis made basket = x + 6 = 11.4285714286 ≈ 11.43
Joan made basket = x - 4 = 1.42857142857
≈ 1.43
