Question

Carly is on her sophomore basketball team. She makes 26% of her foul shots, leading her team to 16 wins in 19 games for the season.
If Carly took 65 foul shots during the season, how many shots did she make?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 250 shots that she made.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of foul shots during the season = 65

Let the number of shots she made be 'x'.

According to question, 26% of her foul shots she make.

So, it becomes,

$\dfrac{26}{100}\times x=65\\\\0.26\times x=65\\\\x=\dfrac{65}{0.26}\\\\x=250$

Hence, there are 250 shots that she made.

Answer 2

26% of 65 is 0.26*65 = 16.90

Carly made 17 of her 65 foul shots.
