1. The problem states that a total of 15 goals were scored by three players: Keshore, Lester, and Richard. 2. The symbols represent goals: ◎ is a full goal, and ◐ is a half goal. 3. From the table: - Keshore has 3 full circles: $3 \times \text{(value of ◎)}$ - Lester has 2 full circles: $2 \times \text{(value of ◎)}$ - Richard has 2 full circles and 1 half circle: $2 \times \text{(value of ◎)} + 0.5 \times \text{(value of ◎)}$ 4. Let the number of goals represented by ◎ be $x$. 5. Total goals equation: $$3x + 2x + (2x + 0.5x) = 15$$ 6. Simplify the left side: $$3x + 2x + 2x + 0.5x = 7.5x$$ 7. So: $$7.5x = 15$$ 8. Solve for $x$: $$x = \frac{15}{7.5} = 2$$ 9. Therefore, each ◎ represents 2 goals. Final answer: 2 goals
