D. He will be 531 yards short of breaking the record

Answer 1

Answer:

a)he will break the record by 36 yards b)he will break the record by 29 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that lake plays football. Last year, he averaged 280 passing yards per game during his team's 9-game season

Hence for 9 games or in the season his average would be

=280(9)=2520280(9)=2520 yards

The total passing yards is fixed by school as 3114 yards3114yards

If Bake increases by 25% his new score after improvement would be

1.25*2520=31501.25∗2520=3150 yards

Thus he exceeds the target by

3150-3114 =36 yards3150−3114=36yards

Hence Option A is correct.
