Question

The winner of a basketball contest is the individual who scores the highest percentage of free throws. The top three finishers are contestants A, B, and C. Contestant A made 85% of her free throws, contestant B made 0.88 of his free throws, and contestant C made 2125
of his free throws. Graph an inequality that represents the possible percentages (in decimal form) of free throws made by the other contestants in the competition. (Assume there are no ties.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Less than 0.84

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert all numbers to decimals

• 85% --> 0.85
• 0.88 --> 0.88

• 21/25 --> 0.84

Since these are the top three, the rest of the competitors are less than 0.84.
