Question: In his first season at Best Hockey's team, Louie scored four goals in the last hockey match of this season. His brother has scored twice as many goals as Louie scored in the last match in each game he's played in each of the three seasons he's been on the team. Each season has 50 games. What is the total number of goals the brothers have scored between them if, in the previous matches, Louie scored 40 goals? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
If Louie scored 4 goals last night, his brother has scored 2 * 4 goals = 8 goals in each game. The total number of games Louie's brother has played in is 3 seasons * 50 games / season = 150 games. Louie's brother's total number of goals in the three seasons is 8 goals / game * 150 games = 1200 goals. Louie's total number of goals this season is 40 goals + 4 goals = 44 goals. Together, they have a total of 44 goals + 1200 goals = 1244 goals in the team. So the answer is 1244.
