Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anthony's ratio of goals to assists is 2:5, meaning for every 7 points (2 goals + 5 assists), he scores 2 goals. With a total of 91 points, we divide 91 by 7 to find the number of times this ratio fits into his total points, which is 13. Then, we multiply the number of goal units (2) by this factor (13) to find he scored 26 goals.
