1 answer

To determine which player should win the MVP award based on points per game, we can calculate the points per game for each player using the formula:

\[ \text{Points per game} = \frac{\text{Total points}}{\text{Number of games}} \]

Player A:

  • Total points = 345
  • Number of games = 15

\[ \text{Points per game for Player A} = \frac{345}{15} = 23 \]

Player B:

  • Total points = 468
  • Number of games = 18

\[ \text{Points per game for Player B} = \frac{468}{18} = 26 \]

Now we compare the points per game:

  • Player A: 23 points per game
  • Player B: 26 points per game

Since Player B has a higher points per game average, Player B should win the MVP award.
