My question is: Clayton plays basketball on a team. He has played three games so far. In the first game, he scored 10 points. In the second game, he scored 14 points. In the third game, he scored 6 points. In the fourth game, he scored the average of his points from the first three games. How many total points did Clayton score during the first four games? Your thoughts:
During the first three games Clayton scored 10 points + 14 + 6 = 30 points. The average for Clayton's first three games is 30 points / 3 = 10 points per game. For the first four games, Clayton scored 30 points + 10 points = 40 points. The final answer: 40.
