Given:
- Total games sold last month = 504
- Total employees = n
Let's dissect the given phrase:
"Chris sold 17 fewer games than what the team averaged per employee"
Average games sold per employee is the total games sold divided by the total number of employees. We have:
"Average games sold" = [tex]\frac{504}{n}[/tex]
Chris sold 17 fewer than the "average games sold", so we can subtract 17 from that expression. We get:
Chris sold (number of games) = [tex]\frac{504}{n} - 17[/tex]
ANSWER: Number of games Chris sold (as an expression) = [tex]\frac{504}{n} - 17[/tex]
