Question

In a basketball game, Debbie score 28% of the team points. if debbie scored 24 ponits how many point did the tieam score as a whole?​

Answer 1

Answer: 86 points

Step-by-step explanation:

I used cross multiplication. Debbie scored 28% of the points, which could be written as 28/100. I set 28 over 100 equal to 24 over x. The x represents the total amount of points, with the 24 over it to show that Debbie got 24 points out of the total. To solve, I did 100 times 24, and then divided that by 28. Once you do that, you get 85.7, so I round up to the nearest whole number which is 86.
