Question: Lefty scores 20 points in a game and his teammate Righty scores half as many as Lefty does. Their other teammate scores 6 times as much as Righty does. What are the average points scored per player on the team? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
First, we need to determine how many points Righty scored. To do this we perform 20 / 2 = 10 points since Righty scored half as many as Lefty did. Then, to find the other teammate's points we perform 10 * 6 = 60 points scored, as they scored 6 times as many as Righty did. We then add all three teammates' points together, performing 20 + 10 + 60 = 90 points as the first step towards finding the average. We then divide this sum by the total number of players we're averaging, getting 90 / 3 = 30 points per player. So the answer is 30.
