Answer

Answer: 21 points

Work Step by Step

Let's assume that Charles made x points in the game of 14 minutes. Now, we will write the proportion for the given details $\frac{251}{169} = \frac{x}{14}$ so. $251 \times 14 = x\times 169$ (cross multiply) $3514 = 169x$ $x = 20.79 \approx 21 $ (divide both sides by 169) I.e. Charles made 21 points in the game of 14 minutes.
