Answer 1

To find the score $s$ for the last game that will allow Carlos to average 25 points per game over 7 games, we first need to calculate his total score after 6 games and set up the equation for the average.

Carlos has scored the following points in his last 6 games: 27, 18, 24, 32, 15, and 27.

Let's calculate the total score for these 6 games:

$$27+18+24+32+15+27=143$$

Now, if $s$ is the score for the last game, the total score over 7 games would be $143+s$.

To find the average score over these 7 games, we set up the equation:

$$\frac{143+s}{7}=25$$

This equation allows us to solve for $s$ to give Carlos an average of 25 points per game after 7 games.

Thus, the correct equation from the provided options is:

$$\frac{143+s}{7}=25$$

In terms of the format you've provided, the correct response is:

27+18+24+32+15+27+s7=25
