To find the score \( s \) for the last game that will allow Carlos to average 25 points per game over 7 games, we first need to calculate his total score after 6 games and set up the equation for the average.
Carlos has scored the following points in his last 6 games: 27, 18, 24, 32, 15, and 27.
Let's calculate the total score for these 6 games:
\[ 27 + 18 + 24 + 32 + 15 + 27 = 143 \]
Now, if \( s \) is the score for the last game, the total score over 7 games would be \( 143 + s \).
To find the average score over these 7 games, we set up the equation:
\[ \frac{143 + s}{7} = 25 \]
This equation allows us to solve for \( s \) to give Carlos an average of 25 points per game after 7 games.
Thus, the correct equation from the provided options is:
\[ \frac{143 + s}{7} = 25 \]
In terms of the format you've provided, the correct response is:
27+18+24+32+15+27+s7=25
