write your answer as a decimal or a whole number.
points per game

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total points first 12 games

Total points = 24 points/game × 12 games = 288 points

Step2: Calculate total points last 16 games

Total points = (24 + 112/16) points/game × 16 games
First, 112/16 = 7, so new ppg = 24 + 7 = 31
Total points = 31 × 16 = 496 points

Step3: Calculate total points for season

Total points = 288 + 496 = 784 points
Total games = 12 + 16 = 28 games
Points per game = 784 / 28 = 28

Answer:

28
