C.  The following data lists the games played (GP), free throws scored (FT), 2-point field goals scored (2FG), and 3-point field goals (3FG) for the top ten scorers in the Tri-Valley Basketball League.  Players receive 1 point for a free throw and 2 or 3 points for field goals.  Complete the table.   To find the average points per game, divide the total points by the number of games played.  Round to the nearest tenth.  Start with the player with the highest average and continue in descending order.
