A golf tournament has five rounds.The players are given scores for each round based on how many strokes they are above or below 72. Ricky has recorded his score for each of the 5 rounds.
Strokes - how many times a player swings the club or hits the ball
Write an expression to represent Ricky's total number of strokes for the five rounds.

To represent Ricky's total number of strokes for the five rounds, we can add up his scores for each round.
Let's assume Ricky's scores for each round are as follows:
Round 1: Score 1
Round 2: Score 2
Round 3: Score 3
Round 4: Score 4
Round 5: Score 5
To find Ricky's total number of strokes, we can add up the scores for each round:
Total strokes = Score 1 + Score 2 + Score 3 + Score 4 + Score 5
So, the expression to represent Ricky's total number of strokes for the five rounds is:
Total strokes = Score 1 + Score 2 + Score 3 + Score 4 + Score 5
To find Ricky's average number of strokes per round, we need to divide the total number of strokes by the number of rounds, which is 5 in this case.
Average strokes per round = Total strokes / Number of rounds
Average strokes per round = (Score 1 + Score 2 + Score 3 + Score 4 + Score 5) / 5
To calculate the average number of strokes per round, you can substitute the actual scores for each round into the expression and calculate the result.
