Question

The lakers scored a total of 80 points in a basketball game against the bulls. the lakers made a total of 37 two-point and three-point baskets. how many two-point shots did the lakers make? how many three-point shots did the lakers make?

Answer 1

The answer is 2 three-point shots. Since the Lakers made 37 two-point shots, one multiplies 37 by 2 (37 x 2), which equals 74. Then 74 is subtracted from the total 80 to see how many points are left (80 - 74), which equals 6. To determine the number of three-point shots, 6 is divided by 3 (6/3), which equals 2.
