If a basketball player consistently shoots 80% from the free throw line and she takes 25 free throw shots throughout the course
of a game, how many free throws can she be expected to make?
1 answer:
The formula for percentage is:
is/of = %/100
In the given problem,
is = ?
of = 25
% = 80
We get,
?/25 = 80/100
"is" is unknown so let "is" be "x"
x/25 = 80/100
We have to cross multiply. Meaning, we will multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction. Therefore,
100x = (80)(25)
100x = 2000
x = 20
The answer is 20. The basketball player is expected to make 20 free throw shots out of 25 in the entire game.

Answer:
3 : 50
Step-by-step explanation:
6% = 0.06
0.06 = 6/100
6/100 = 3/50
3/50 = 3 : 50
7/3x+1/3x=3x+6/3+5/3x
8/3x-5/3x=3x+6/3
3/3x=3x+6/3
x=3x+6/3
x-3x=6/3
-2x=2
-x=2/2
-x=1
x=-1
The answer is 19.5
You add all the numbers to get 273 and divide by the amount of dots which is 14 to get 19.5
