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?(1 point)
points per game
To find the average number of points per game, we need to divide the total number of points by the number of games. The equation 4y = 104x represents the total number of points (y) scored in x number of games.
To find the average, we divide both sides of the equation by the number of games (x):
4y / x = 104x / x
Simplifying the equation:
4y / x = 104
Since we are looking for the average points per game, which is y/x, we can rewrite the equation as:
Average points per game = 104/4
Simplifying further:
Average points per game = 26
So Pedro averaged 26 points per game.
