Dante scored 66 points in the first 12 games of his basketball season. At his current rate of the season has 20 games in all, how many total points will Dante score for the season?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total points scored by Dante is 110

Step-by-step explanation:

Dante scored 66 points in the first 12 games of his basketball season.

This means his scoring rate or average number of points per game is 66/12

= 5.5 points per basketball game.

With this current rate of 5.5 points per game maintained, if Dante plays a total number of 20 basketball games for the season, the total number of points which he would score for his team in the entire season would be assumed as x

To get x, we multiply the total number of basketball games played by the average number of points which Dante scores per game. It becomes

x = 20 × 5.5 = 110 points
