Question

In the first game of the year, the modified basketball team made 63.5% of their foul shot free throws. Matthew made all 6 of his free throws, which made up 25% of the teams free throws. How many free throws did the team miss altogether?

Answer 1

So 6 shots equal 25% of the teams total shots(x)
So 6= 0.24(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
