If Michael Jordan has an average of 29 points per game after 100 games, how many points does he need in the remaining 50 games so that he finishes the season with an average of 30 points per game?
-----------------
Jordan must have scored 29*100 points in the 1st 100 games.
---
He needs to score 30*150 = 4500 points if he is going to average
30 points over 150 games.
-------
So he needs 4500-2900 = 1600 points in the last 50 games.
