Stephanie has scored 55 points in the last 5 games. At this rate, how many total points will she score in the next two games?

1 answer

To find out how many points Stephanie will score in the next two games at her current rate, we first need to determine her average points per game based on the last 5 games.

She scored a total of 55 points in 5 games, so we calculate her average points per game as follows:

\[ \text{Average points per game} = \frac{\text{Total points}}{\text{Number of games}} = \frac{55}{5} = 11 \text{ points per game}. \]

Now, if she continues to score at the same rate, we can calculate her total points for the next two games:

\[ \text{Points in next 2 games} = \text{Average points per game} \times \text{Number of games} = 11 \times 2 = 22 \text{ points}. \]

Therefore, Stephanie will score a total of 22 points in the next two games.
