free throw shots throughout this season.

Answer 1

Explanation:

total amount of free throws × 0.7=35

35 ÷ 0.7=50

Dwayne has taken 550 free throws

Answer 2

50 free throws

Explanation:

we can use the cross multiply method

`(70)/(100) =(35)/(x) \\70x=100(35)\\70x=3500\\`

Divide 70 from both sides

`x=50`
