. In this equation, y

represents the total number of points and x
x
represents number of games. How many points did Pedro average per game?

Answer 1

To find the average number of points Pedro scored per game, we need to solve the equation \(4y = 104x\) for the average points per game (which is \(y/x\)).

1. First, we can rewrite the equation:

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

2. Simplify the right side:

\[
y = 26x
\]

3. To find the average points per game, we need \(y/x\):

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

Thus, Pedro averaged **26 points per game.**
