To find the score Carlos needs in the last game to average 25 points over 7 games, we first need to calculate the total number of points he must have over those 7 games.
The equation for the average points over \( n \) games is given by:
\[
\text{Average} = \frac{\text{Total Points}}{n}
\]
In this case, Carlos wants to average 25 points over 7 games:
\[
25 = \frac{\text{Total Points}}{7}
\]
This means the total points he needs after 7 games is:
\[
\text{Total Points} = 25 \times 7 = 175
\]
Now, we will add the points he has already scored in the first 6 games:
\[
27 + 18 + 24 + 32 + 15 + 27 = 143
\]
Let \( s \) represent the score in the last game. The equation we need to solve is:
\[
143 + s = 175
\]
This equation can be rearranged to find \( s \):
\[
s = 175 - 143
\]
\[
s = 32
\]
So Carlos needs to score 32 points in the last game to achieve an average of 25 points per game.
Now looking at the response options provided, the most closely resembling equation that sets up the total correctly is:
\[
\frac{27 + 18 + 24 + 32 + 15 + 27 + s}{7} = 25
\]
This ensures that you are calculating the correct average after considering the score \( s \) for the last game.
So, the correct response is:
\( \frac{27 + 18 + 24 + 32 + 15 + 27 + s}{7} = 25 \).
