Answer 1

You need to filter out the necessary information. You are told that Alexis makes 27% of her foul shots. You are told she took 24 in the season. The info about 15 wins and 19 games is superflous information.

Find 27% of 24 foul shots to get to the answer.

Do this by multiplying 24 by .27.

6.48 - we are told to round the number to the nearest tenth.

6.5 shots - letter B.
