Wayne Gretzky holds the NHL record for the most points scored In a career. He scored 2857 points in 1487 games. a. Calculate his average points per game b. At this rate, how many more points might he have scored if he had played 79 more games?

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The formula for determining average is expressed as

Average point per game = number of points scored/total number of games played

Average point per game = 2857/1487 = 1.92

b) if he had played 79 more games, since his average point per game is 1.92, then the number of points that he might have scored would be
