1 answer

To determine who should win the MVP award, we need to calculate the average number of points per game for each player.

For Player A, we divide the total points scored (345) by the number of games played (15):
345 / 15 = 23.

For Player B, we divide the total points scored (468) by the number of games played (18):
468 / 18 = 26.

Therefore, Player B should win the MVP award as they have a higher average of points per game (26) compared to Player A (23).
The answer is 2 for Player B.
