Question

25 POINTS!!

Jeremy made 65% of the free throws he attempted in one basketball season. He made 39 free throws. How many free throws did Jeremy attempt? Show your work.

I know that he attempted free throws 60 times, but I need to know what the formula is to get 60 from the knowledge that they give me.

Answer 1

Answer:It's a proportion, 65/100 • 39/60. To get this you do 65/100 ( that's the percent) • 39/x. You multiple 100•39 and divide that answer by 65
