The number of points that Yuki scored in a basketball game is represented by the equation 5y = 110x. In this equation, y represents the total number of points and x represents number of games. How many points did Yuki average per game?

1 answer

To find the average number of points Yuki scored per game, we need to divide the total number of points (y) by the number of games (x).

The equation given is 5y = 110x. To find y, we can isolate y by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

y = 110x/5
y = 22x

This equation tells us that the total number of points Yuki scored in a game (y) is equal to 22 times the number of games (x).

To find the average number of points per game, we divide y by x:

Average points per game = y/x
Average points per game = 22x / x
Average points per game = 22

Therefore, Yuki averaged 22 points per game.
