Most people will get this wrong.

Does math fasinate you as much as it does me?
if so heres a challenge for you.
most people within their 20s won’t get this question right.

The 1986 Texas women’s team had the eighth highest “socring margin” in NCAA women’s basketball history. Now it is the twentieth. (The socring margin is the difference between the winning team’s score and the losing team’s score.) IF the Texas women averaged 83.9 points per game, and their opponents avereaged 57.2 points per game, what was the average scoring margin for Texas in 1986?

I have no idea. It would probably help me, though, if I understood the whole “scoring margin”, thing.

lol if it wasn’t solved the way which would result in 26.7, then how is it done? is it a trick question where we should know the margin for each game and then calculate?

Unless this is some kind of trick question with many layers and hidden information, the answer is 26.7.
And btw, not to be rude, but did you know you spelled “scoring margin” “socring margin” 2 times?
