Tomic and Brooke make a game of shooting free throws. Each basket is worth 2 1/2 points. Each miss is worth −3/4 points. Out of 30 free throws, they make 16 baskets. What is the correct number of points that Tomic and Brooke scored?

Answer: 29.5 points

Why: the missed 14 shots so 14 x 3/4 is 10.5
They made 16 shots so 16 x 2.5 is 40
40-10.5=29.5
