Question

Adam scored 16 points during his last basketball game, which was 40% of the total points the team scored. How many points did the entire team score?

Answer 1

40 points

Explanation:

1/4 of 40% is 10%. So, 16/4 is 10% of the total score. 16/4 is 4. So, if we find the product of 4 and 10 it is 40. Thus, 40 is the total score.

Answer 2

The team scored 40 points.

Explanation:

Adam scores 16 points, which is 40% of the teams entire score.

100/40=2.5

2.5x16=40

The entire team scored 40 points.
