Answer 1

75 % free throws are made by Morton

Solution:

Given that Morton made 36 out of 48 free throws last season

To find: Percent of free throws made by Morton

From given statement,

throws made by morton = 36

Thus the percent of free throws made by Morton is given as:

$percent = \frac{\text{number of throws made}}{\text{total number of throws}} \times 100$

Substituting the values, we get

$percent = \frac{36}{48} \times 100\\\\percent = 0.75 \times 100 = 75 %$

Thus 75 % of his free throws are made by Morton
