The Northwestern High School basketball team won the championship this year. The MVP award will go to the player who scored the most points per game. Player A scored 345 points and played in 15 games. Player B scored 468 points in 18 games played. Which player should win the MVP award? Choose 1 for player A and 2 for player B.(1 point)

Answer 1

To determine the MVP based on points per game, we can calculate the points per game for both players.

For Player A: Points per game = Total points / Total games Points per game = 345 points / 15 games = 23 points per game

For Player B: Points per game = Total points / Total games Points per game = 468 points / 18 games = 26 points per game

Now, comparing the two:

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

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

The answer is 2 for Player B.
