Q. There are 88 employees on The Game Shop's sales team. Last month, they sold a total of g g games. One of the sales team members, Chris, sold 1717 fewer games than what the team averaged per employee.\newlineHow many games did Chris sell?\newlineWrite your answer as an expression.\newline_______games
  1. Calculate Average Games Sold: Determine the average number of games sold per employee. To find the average, we divide the total number of games sold by the number of employees. Average games sold per employee = Total games sold / Number of employees Average games sold per employee = g8\frac{g}{8}
  2. Find Number of Games Chris Sold: Calculate the number of games Chris sold.\newlineChris sold 1717 fewer games than the average, so we subtract 1717 from the average games sold per employee.\newlineGames Chris sold = Average games sold per employee - 1717\newlineGames Chris sold = (g/8)17(g / 8) - 17
