James joins a football team and becomes the star. He scores 4 touchdowns per game and each touchdown is worth 6 points. There are 15 games in the season. He also manages to score 2 point conversions 6 times during the season. The old record was 300 points during the season. How many points did James beat the old record by? Give me reasons, before answering the question
He scored 4 * 6 = 24 points per game. So he scored 15 * 24 = 360 points from touchdowns. He also scored 2 * 6 = 12 points from the 2 point conversions. So he scored a total of 360 + 12 = 372 points. That means he beat the old record by 372 - 300 = 72 points. So the final answer is 72.
