Archie holds the school record for most touchdown passes with 89 in a season of 16 games. Richard is close to breaking the record, having averaged 6 touchdowns a game in the first 14 games. How many touchdowns per game must he average in the final two games to beat Archie's record? Let's be accurate as possible.
Richard has scored 84 touchdowns because 14 x 6 = 84. To beat the record he must score 90 touchdowns because 89 + 1 = 90. He needs 6 more touchdowns to beat the record because 90 - 84 = 6. He has two games left because 16 - 14 = 2. He needs to average 3 touchdowns a game to beat the record because 6 / 2 = 3.
The answer: 3.
