Suppose that a certain basketball athlete earned 10 000 000
Suppose that a certain basketball athlete earned $10, 000, 000 to play 80 games, each listing 48 minutes (Assume no overtime games) How much did the athlete earn per game? Assuming that the athlete played every minute of every game, how much did he earn per minute? Assuming that the athlete played 2/3 of every game, how much did he earn per minute? Suppose that, averaged over a year, the athlete practiced or trained 33 hours for every game and then played every minute Including this training time, what was his hourly salary? The athlete earned $ per game. The athlete earned $ per minute played if he played the entire game for every game (Round to the nearest dollar per minute as needed.) The athlete earned $ per minute played if he played 2/3 of every game (Round to the nearest dollar per minute as needed.) The athlete earned $ per hour if he trained 33 hours for every game and then played every minute (Round to the nearest dollar per hour as needed.)
Solution
a) the athlete earned per game= total amount earned/number games=10000000/80=125000 dollars per game
b) the athlete earned per minute= amounte earned per game/number of minutes per game = 125000/48=2604.16667 dollars per minute
