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 =
<u>As total of 64 baskets, he made:</u>
Then number of foul shots =
Now, total points, he scored is given 100,
<u><em>Number of field goals </em></u><u><em> 2 + Number of foul shots </em></u>
<u><em> 1 = 100</em></u>

Number of field goals = = 36
Then number of foul shots = = 64 - 36 = 28
Therefore, 36 field goals and 28 foul shots made by chamberlain.
