To calculate the average profit per game and the total expected profit for the 10-game season, we can follow these steps:
-
Calculate the total profit for the first five games: \[ \text{Total Profit} = -12.50 + (-10.15) + 18.65 + 25.90 + 45.75 \]
Breaking it down: \[ -12.50 - 10.15 = -22.65 \] \[ -22.65 + 18.65 = -4.00 \] \[ -4.00 + 25.90 = 21.90 \] \[ 21.90 + 45.75 = 67.65 \]
So, the total profit for the first five games is 67.65 dollars.
-
Calculate the average profit per game: \[ \text{Average Profit} = \frac{\text{Total Profit}}{\text{Number of Games}} = \frac{67.65}{5} = 13.53 \]
-
Calculate the expected total profit for the entire 10-game season: \[ \text{Total Expected Profit} = \text{Average Profit} \times \text{Total Games} = 13.53 \times 10 = 135.30 \]
Therefore, by the end of the 10-game season, the club can expect to earn a total of 135.30 dollars.
