48) A professional football team plays a 16 game season with a goal of averaging 44,000 per week in ticket sales. If the team averages 40,000 through the first five weeks of the year, how many will it need to average the rest of the year to come the closest to its target? 

1. 46,000
2. 45,500
3. 45,000
4. 46,500

40,000*5 weeks of the year=200,000
Pick a number and start high since there is a lot of ground to make up to get to 44,000. 
46,000*11 remaining weeks of the year=506,000
Add 506000+200000=706000. 
Divide this by 16. 44,125 is the answer, and since that's the closest you'll get to the target, Answer 1 is the correct choice.
