Question

Juan continues to shoot free throws. How many free throws would Juan need to make out of 50 to have the same percentage that Bonita now has?

Answer 1

Juan would need to make 38 free throws out of 50 to have the same percentage as Bonita.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking:

In order for Juan to have the same percentage as Bonita, we need to find out how many free throws Juan needs to make out of 50.

Solution:

1. Let x be the number of successful free throws Juan needs to make.
2. Therefore, the probability of Juan making the free throw is x/50.
3. Since we want Juan's percentage to be the same as Bonita's, we can set up the equation: x/50 = 0.75.
4. To solve for x, we multiply both sides of the equation by 50: x = 0.75 * 50 = 37.5.
5. Since Juan cannot make a fraction of a free throw, he would need to make a whole number of successful free throws.
6. Therefore, Juan would need to make 38 free throws out of 50 to have the same percentage as Bonita.
