22. In his first season with the New York Knicks, Stephon Marbury scored 931 points, averaging 19.8 points per game. How many games did he play for the Knicks that season? (Lesson \( 8-6 \) )

To find out how many games Stephon Marbury played for the New York Knicks that season, we can use the formula for average points per game: \[ \text{Average points per game} = \frac{\text{Total points scored}}{\text{Number of games played}} \] We can rearrange this formula to solve for the number of games played: \[ \text{Number of games played} = \frac{\text{Total points scored}}{\text{Average points per game}} \] Given that he scored a total of 931 points and averaged 19.8 points per game, we can substitute these values into the formula: \[ \text{Number of games played} = \frac{931}{19.8} \] Now, we can perform the calculation: \[ \text{Number of games played} \approx 46.97 \] Since the number of games played must be a whole number, we round this to the nearest whole number: \[ \text{Number of games played} \approx 47 \] Therefore, Stephon Marbury played approximately **47 games** for the New York Knicks that season.
