Asked by Sammy R.

Martin has scored an average of 12 points per game this season Game 1 he scored 8 points, game 2 he scored 11 points, game 3 he scored 12 points, and game 4 he scored 16 points. Use numbers from the box (2,3,4,5,8,11,12,13,16,n) to write an equation that can be used to find out how many points Martin scored in game 5. Then solve the equation.
Show work.

the average of 5 numbers is their sum/5
So, now you know that

(sum)/5 = 12

Answered by Steve
No. how did you get that? Just a guess?

(8+11+12+16+n)/5=12

Yes, the answer is indeed 13.

Let's solve the equation you wrote:

(8 + 11 + 12 + 16 + n) / 5 = 12

47 + n = 60

n = 13

Therefore, Martin scored 13 points in game 5.
