The complete question is:

There are 8 employees on The Game Shop's sales team. Last month, they sold a total of g games. One of the sales team members, Chris, sold 17 fewer games than what the team averaged per employee. How many games did Chris sell? Write your answer as an expression

Answer:

g/8 - 17
