Question

A field goal kicker has made 28 out of 40 attempted field goals so far this season. His field goal average is 0.7.
How many consecutive field goals must he make to increase his average to 0.809524?

Answer 1

why are you adding 28 to the x/40?

Answer 2

Sorry, it should be this way:
\[0.809524=x/40\]
\[40*0.809524\]
32=x

Answer 3

oh okay, thank you

Answer 4

the answer is not 32. But I would have solved it the same way as you.

Answer 5

What is the answer anyways?

Answer 6
