Question

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 number of games. How many points did Pedro average per game?(1 point)
points per game

1 answer

To find the average points per game that Pedro scored, we can start by manipulating the given equation:

\[ 4y = 104x \]

To determine \(y\) (the total number of points), we first isolate \(y\) by dividing both sides of the equation by 4:

\[ y = \frac{104x}{4} \] \[ y = 26x \]

This equation shows that the total points \(y\) is directly proportional to the number of games \(x\) with a proportionality constant of 26. Thus, for every game Pedro played, he scored an average of 26 points.

So, the average points per game that Pedro scored is:

\[ \boxed{26} \]
