Question

Romeo shot 15 free-throws in last night's game. His coach told him he had an 80% free-throw percentage. How many did he make? (can you solve this 2 ways?)

Answer 1

Answer:

30 throws

Explanation:

Given

Total throw shot by Romeo = 15 throws

If he had an 80% free-throw percentage;

additional throw = 80% of 15

additional throw = 0.8 * 15

additional throw = 12 throws

Toal throws made = 15 + 12

Total throws made = 30 throws

Hence the made 30 throws
