Answer:

field goals = 36,  foul shots = 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Chamberlin scored 100 points.

Chamberlain made a total of 64 baskets consisting of field goals and foulshots.

Each field goal worth = 2 points

Each foulshot  worth =  1 points

Question asked:

Find the number of field goals and the number of foul shots that chamberlain made ?

Solution:

Let number of field goals = x

<u>As total of 64 baskets, he made:</u>

Then number of foul shots = 64-x

Now, total points, he scored is given 100,

<u><em>Number of field goals </em></u>\times<u><em> 2 + Number of foul shots </em></u>\times<u><em> 1 = 100</em></u>

x\times2+(64-x)\times1=100\\2x+64-x=100\\x+64=100

Subtracting both sides by 64

x+64-64=100-64\\x=36

Number of field goals = x = 36

Then number of foul shots = 64-x = 64 - 36 = 28

Therefore, 36 field goals and 28 foul shots made by chamberlain.
