Question

3) Chazz scored 12 points during his last basketball game, which was 40% of the points the entire team

scored. What was the number of points the entire team scored?

Answer 1

To find the number of points the entire team scored, we can set up a proportion using Chazz's points.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion using Chazz's points as a fraction of the entire team's points. We know that Chazz's 12 points is 40% of the entire team's points, so we can write the proportion as:

12/(x) = 40/100

where x represents the number of points the entire team scored. To solve for x, we can cross multiply and solve the equation:

12 * 100 = 40 * x

1200 = 40x

x = 1200/40

x = 30

Therefore, the entire team scored 30 points.
