Question

In the first game of the year, the modified basketball team made 62.5% of their foul shot free throws. Matthew made all 6 of his free throws, which made up 25% of the team’s free throws. How many free throws did the team miss altogether?

Answer 1

So 6 shots equals 25% of the teams total shots(x).
So 6=0.25(x)
x=6/0.25
x=24

If the team made 62.5% of their shots, then they missed 100%-6.25%=37.5%

37.5% of 24= 24(0.375)=9

Hope this helps
