To determine the average points per game from the information provided:

  1. Identify the total points scored from the three data points:

    • Game 3: approximately 98 points
    • Game 5: 150 points
    • Game 7: approximately 202 points
  2. Add these points together:

    • Total points = 98 + 150 + 202 = 450 points
  3. Count the number of games played based on the provided data points:

    • Games involved: 3 (for the first point) + 1 (for the second point) + 1 (for the third point) = 3 games total.
  4. Calculate the average points per game: \[ \text{Average points per game} = \frac{\text{Total points}}{\text{Number of games}} = \frac{450}{3} = 150 \]

Therefore, the average points scored per game is 150 points.
