In one game, the ratio of three-point baskets to three-point tries for one team was 3:8. If the team scored 27 points from three
-point baskets, how many three-point tries did the team have?
1 answer:
Since we’ve been given a ratio, 3:8, we can convert that into a fraction and form an equation from it:
= 
The reason the numerator on the second fraction is 27/3 is because the team scored 27 points, not 27 baskets.
Simplify (Also replace the ? with an unknown variable):
= 
Cross multiply:
3*n = 9*8
Simplify:
3n = 72
Divide both sides by 3:
n = 24
The team had 33 three point tries, 9 successes, and 24 fails.

Answer:
A) y = -2x
B) y = x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
A) you need to have a negative 'x' coefficient and no y-intercept
B) you need to have a positive 'x' coefficient and a negative y-intercept
X=year
y=$
y=200(1.003)^12x
3.6%->.036/12 (compounded monthly)
=0.003+1
y=200(1.003)^12(1) (1 year)
=$207.31999
BUT
200•12 ($200 deposited every month)
=$2400
2400+207.3199=
$2607.32
