Question

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.

Answer 1

To determine which player should win the MVP award based on points per game, we need to calculate the average points per game for each player.

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

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

Player B scored more points per game on average, with 26 points, compared to Player A's average of 23 points. Therefore, Player B should win the MVP award. Choose 2 for Player B.
