Select the best answer for the question.

In the 2021-22 season, Damian Lillard made 212 assists and had 83 turnovers. Which of these shows the correct calculation of his AST/TO ratio?

A. [tex]AST - TO = 212 - 83 = 129[/tex]

B. [tex]TO / AST = 83 / 212[/tex]

C. [tex]AST / TO = 212 / 83 = 2.55[/tex]

D. [tex]TO - AST = 83 - 212 = -129[/tex]

To find Damian Lillard's assist-to-turnover (AST/TO) ratio for the 2021-22 season, you need to divide the total number of assists by the total number of turnovers.

Here's how to do it step-by-step:

1. Identify the number of assists and turnovers:
- Assists: 212
- Turnovers: 83

2. Calculate the AST/TO ratio:
The formula for the AST/TO ratio is:
[tex]\[
\text{AST/TO ratio} = \frac{\text{Assists}}{\text{Turnovers}}
\][/tex]

3. Substitute the values into the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{AST/TO ratio} = \frac{212}{83}
\][/tex]

4. Perform the division:
[tex]\[
\text{AST/TO ratio} = 2.55
\][/tex]

Thus, the AST/TO ratio is approximately 2.55. Based on the options provided, the correct calculation for this ratio is expressed in option C: [tex]${}^{\text{AST}} / TO = {}^{212} / 83 = 2.55$[/tex].

Therefore, the best answer is C.
