27+18+24+32+15+17+s7=25
Start Fraction 27 plus 18 plus 24 plus 32 plus 15 plus 17 plus s over 7 End Fraction equals 25

143s7=25

Answer 1

To find the score that Carlos needs in his last game to average 25 points per game over 7 games, we can use the following equation:

1. First, let's sum up the points he scored in the first 6 games: \( 27 + 18 + 24 + 32 + 15 + 27 = 143 \)

2. Let \( s \) be the score in the last game. The average after 7 games should be 25 points, so the equation would be:

\[ \frac{143 + s}{7} = 25 \]

To select the correct representation from your responses, we can rewrite the equation using your format. The appropriate equation from your provided options that reflects this is:

Start Fraction 27 plus 18 plus 24 plus 32 plus 15 plus 27 plus s over 7 End Fraction equals 25

This corresponds to:

\[ \frac{27 + 18 + 24 + 32 + 15 + 27 + s}{7} = 25 \]

Thus, the correct response is:

Start Fraction 27 plus 18 plus 24 plus 32 plus 15 plus 27 plus s over 7 End Fraction equals 25.
