94 points in the last 6 games leaves her one 2-point basket short of an average of 16 points per game.


To attain an average of 16 points per game after 6 more games, she needs to....

(1) score 8 2-point baskets per game in each of those next 6 games (48 more 2-point baskets); and

(2) score one more 2-point basket to make up for what she is short over the previous 6 games.


So over the next 6 games she needs to score 48+1 = 49 more 2-point baskets to attain an average of EXACTLY 6 points per game.


So to attain an average of MORE THAN 16 points per game, she needs to score at least 50 more 2-points baskets in the next 6 games.
