Question

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?

Answer 1

If you would like to know how many free throws did Jeremy attempt, you can calculate this using the following steps:

65% of x free throws is 39 free throws
65% * x = 39
65/100 * x = 39 /*100/65
x = 39 * 100 / 65
x = 60 free throws

Jeremy attempted 60 free throws.
