A.
550

D.
500

1 answer

To find the average points Yuki scored per game, we first need to isolate \( y \) in the equation \( 5y = 110x \).

  1. Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

\[ y = \frac{110x}{5} \]

  1. Simplify the right side:

\[ y = 22x \]

This means that Yuki scored 22 points for each game played.

Thus, the average points per game is:

B. 22.
