Zion Williamson is hoping to be the most dominating freshman that Duke has ever seen on the basketball court. In the first 3 games of the season he has scored 28, 27, and 33 points. To be named one of the best, he has to average at least 36 points a game through 4 games. How many points, p, does he have to score in the 4th game to be named one of the best?
To have an average of 36 points through 4 games, Zion must score 36x4 (144) points. The first three games added together is 28 + 27 + 33 = 88. 144 - 88 = 56.
