Answer: The number of successful throw made in that season in total is 30

Thus if number of free throws is x then number of successful throw will be $\frac{5}{6}\times x$ .

The basketball player attempted 36 free trials in a season .

Here x=36

Therefore No of successful throws $=\frac{5}{6}\times 36=30$

Thus the number of successful throw made in that season in total is 30
