From the given above, the point that still needs to be incurred by the group is calculated by subtracting 424 points from 1000. This as shown below,

n = 1000 - 424 = 576

If we are to determine the number of points each game, we divide 576 by 9. That is,
x = 576 / 9 = 64

<em>ANSWER: 64 points/ game</em>
