The number of points that Pedro scored in the basketball game is represented by the equation 4y = 104x. In this equation, y represents the total number of points and x represents the total number of games. How many points did Pedro average per game?

__ points per game

1 answer

The given equation is \( 4y = 104x \). We want to find out how many points Pedro averaged per game, which is given by the formula:

\[ \text{Average points per game} = \frac{y}{x} \]

To do this, we need to express \( y \) in terms of \( x \). We can start by rearranging the equation:

\[ y = \frac{104x}{4} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ y = 26x \]

Now that we have \( y \) in terms of \( x \), we can find the average points per game:

\[ \frac{y}{x} = \frac{26x}{x} \]

Simplifying this gives:

\[ \frac{y}{x} = 26 \]

Thus, Pedro averages:

\[ \boxed{26} \text{ points per game.} \]
