Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 55.6%

(b) 45.0%

(c) 38.5%

(d) 27.1%

(e) 64

(f) 47

(g) The Lions

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Free throw % for Lions is

$\dfrac{10}{18}\times 100\% = 55.6\%$

(b) Free throw % for Eagles is

$\dfrac{9}{20}\times100\% = 45\%$

(c) For the Lions, they attempted a total of 51 + 14 = 65 field goals and made 21 + 4 = 25.

Field goal % for Lions is

$\dfrac{25}{65}\times100\% = 38.5\%$

(d) For the Eagles, they attempted a total of 45 + 14 = 59 field goals and made 10 + 6 = 16.

Field goal % for Eagles is

$\dfrac{16}{59}\times100\% = 27.1\%$

(e) Total points by Lions = (10 × 1) + (21 × 2) + (4 × 3) = 10 + 42 + 12 = 64

(f) Total points by Eagles = (9 × 1) + (10 × 2) + (6 × 3) = 9 + 20 + 18 = 47

(g) The Lions won because they had more points.
