Question

Jared and Zach are practicing their free throws. Jared attempted x shots and made 75% of them. Zach attempted 10 more shots than Jared did and made 80% of them. Together, they made a total of 101 shots. Which equation represents this situation?

Select the correct answer.

A. 0.75x = 0.8(x + 10)
B. 0.75(x + 10) + 0.8x = 101
C. 0.75x + 0.8x + 10 = 101
D. 0.75x + 0.8(x + 10) = 101

Answer 1

0.75x + 0.8(x + 10) = 101

Explanation:

Write an expression to represent the number of shots each one made.

Jared attempted x shots and made 75% of them, or 0.75x.

Zach attempted 10 more shots than Jared did, which is represented as x + 10. He made 80% of them, or 0.8(x + 10).

Together, they made 101 shots. So, add the two expressions and set the sum equal to 101:

0.75x + 0.8(x + 10) = 101.
