51
□ + 51 = m m =□
mitchell will break the record by 1 point if he scores a total of 1 point if he scores a total of
□ points.

Explanation:

Step1: Find p (points from next 7 games)

There are 7 games, each with 27 points. So the number of games is 7.
$7 \times 27 = p$
Calculate $7 \times 27 = 189$, so $p = 189$.

Step2: Find m (total points to break record)

Total points m is current points (51) plus p (189).
$189 + 51 = m$
Calculate $189 + 51 = 240$, so $m = 240$.

Answer:

For the first box (number of games): 7
For $p$: 189
For the box in the second equation (points from next games): 189
For $m$: 240
For the final total points: 240

(In the order of the blanks: 7, 189, 189, 240, 240)
