Answer:Step-by-step explanation:The goal is to increase the number of points scored by 9% each game. This means that if the number points scored in a game is x, the expected increase in the number in the next game is 9/100 × x × 0.09xThe expected number of points scored in the next game would be x + 0.09x = 1.09xIn last week’s game, they scored just 66 points. The expected number of points scored in this week’s game would be 1.09 × 66 = 71Therefore, they did not reach their goal this week.The percent by which the number of points scored increased is (71 - 66)/66 × 100 = 7.58%They increased their score by approximately 8%
