Hi,

Donella has scored 94 points in the last 6 basketball games

Let n represent the number of baskets she must shoot in the next 6 games for her average points per game to be greater than 16?

 %2894+%2B+2n%29%2F%2812%29+%3E+16

94 + 2n > 192

2n > 98

n > 49   She must shoot at least 50 baskets in next 6 games for a greater than 16 pt average

CHECKING our answer***:

 (94 + 98)/12 = 16 pt average

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
