1 answer:

4 0

So 3/8 = 5% of original number

3/8 = 0.375

0.375 = 5% (x2)
0.75 = 10% (x10)
7.5 = 100%

Therefore original number = 7.5

Mai made 12 successful free throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Free throws made by Mai = 49 free throw

Successful throws = 25%

Number of successful throws = 25% of free throws

Number of successful throws = $\frac{25}{100}*49$

Number of successful throws = $\frac{1225}{100} = 12.25$

Rounding off to nearest whole number;

Number of successful throws = 12

Mai made 12 successful free throws.
