Question

1. 4 points Last season Steven made 74% of the free throws in his basketball games. In the first two games this season he got to shoot 16 free throws. If his free throw percentage holds from last season, about how many free throws did Steven make during these two games? A 8 B 9 C 10 D 12

Answer 1

Given:

Percentage of free throws last season = 74%

This season he got to shoot 16 free throws in the first two games this season.

Since his free throw percentage holds from last season, this means that the percentage this season will also be 74%.

To find how many free throws Steven made during these two games, we have:

`(74)/(100)\ast16\text{ = }11.84\text{ }`

Therefore, Steven made about 12 free throws during these two games.

ANSWER:

D. 12
