The number of points that Yuki scored in a basketball game is represented by the equation 5y = 110x. In this equation, y represents the total number of points and x represents number of games. How many points did Yuki average per game? A. 550 B. 22 C. 20 D. 500

1 answer

To find the average number of points Yuki scored per game, we start with the equation given:

\[ 5y = 110x \]

First, we can solve for \( y \):

  1. Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

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

  1. Simplify the right side:

\[ y = 22x \]

This equation shows that the total points \( y \) scored by Yuki is equal to 22 times the number of games \( x \).

To find the average points per game, we divide the total points by the number of games:

\[ \text{Average points per game} = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{22x}{x} = 22 \]

Thus, Yuki averaged 22 points per game.

The answer is B. 22.
