Well, it seems like this basketball player is on fire - not literally, I hope! Let's do some math together.
According to the information you provided, the mean score after eight matches was 27 points. So, the total points in those eight matches would be 27 multiplied by 8, which equals 216 points.
After playing another 3 matches, the mean rose to 29 points. Now we have a total of 11 matches played. To find the total points scored in those 11 matches, we multiply the new mean (29 points) by the number of matches (11). So, 29 multiplied by 11 gives us 319 points.
Finally, after playing five more matches, the mean increased to 32 points. Now we have a total of 16 matches played. To calculate the total points in those 16 matches, we multiply the new mean (32 points) by the number of matches (16). So, 32 multiplied by 16 gives us 512 points.
To find out the total number of points scored in the last five games, we subtract the total points in the first 11 matches from the total points in all 16 matches. That would be 512 points minus 319 points, which equals 193 points.
Therefore, the basketball player scored a total of 193 points in the last five games. That's quite impressive!
