Question 1131063: Suppose that a certain basketball athlete earned $18,000,000 to play 80 games, each lasting 48 minutes. (Assume no overtime games.)
a. How much did the athlete earn per game?
b. Assuming that the athlete played every minute of every game, how much did he earn per minute?(Round to the nearest dollar per minute as needed.)
c. Assuming that the athlete played 2/3 of every game, how much did he earn per minute?(Round to the nearest dollar per minute as needed.)

per game is 18000000/80=$225,000 per game
divide that by 48 to get $4687.50 per minute or $4688/minute
for 2/3 of every game, it would be 2/3 of the not rounded problem above, or $3125/minute
Check. 80 games*48 minutes is 3840 minutes
divide that into 18000000 to get the same answer above.
