Question
The number of points that Pedro scored in the basketball game is represented by the equation 4y=104x. In this equation, y represents the total number of points and x represents number of games. How many points did Pedro average per game?
To find the average number of points Pedro scored per game, we need to divide the total number of points (represented by y) by the number of games (represented by x).
We can rewrite the equation as y = (104/4)x.
So, Pedro scored an average of (104/4) points per game.
To calculate this, we can simplify the fraction:
(104/4) = 26
Therefore, Pedro averaged 26 points per game.
To find out how many points Pedro averaged per game, we need to calculate the average rate of scoring, which is given by the equation 4y = 104x.
First, let's solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 4:
y = (104x) / 4
Simplifying the equation:
y = 26x
This means that Pedro scored 26 points for every game he played.
Therefore, Pedro averaged 26 points per game.
