Amari Lin · Answer 1

You just need to multiply 280 and 9. Then multiply that product by 1.25. To find out how much he breaks the record by you need to subtract the 3114 from the overall product.

Elena Novak · Answer 2

Last year total yards (280 yards * 9 games) * 1.25 (increase from last year) = 3150. He breaks the record.
