Question

Fran made 18 three point shots and 12 one point shots she had a total of 102 points for the basketball season how many 2 point shots did Fran make for the season? explain your answer

Answer 1

18 × 3 = 54

Fran made 54 three point shots for the season.

12 × 1 = 12

Fran made 12 one point shots for the season.


Add the three point shots and one point shots together:

54 + 12 = 66

Now, subtract 66 (Number of three point shots and one point shots) from 102 (Total amount of shots)


102 - 66 = 36

36 ÷ 2 = 18


So, Fran made 18 two point shots for the season (Which resulted in 36 points)

And there's your answer!
