I NEED IMEDIATE HELP (For 80 points)

Lamonte misses 5% of the free trhows he attempts in a seasob. How many total free throws did he attempt if he missed 71. Please graph on a scale moving up or down

Answer 1

Answer:Let's start by finding the total percentage of free throws that Lamonte made. We know that he misses 5% of the free throws he attempts, which means he makes 95% of them. We can use this information to set up an equation:

0.95x = total free throws made

where x is the total number of free throws attempted.

We also know that he missed 71 free throws, so we can add that to the equation:

0.95x - 71 = total free throws made

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation:

0.95x - 71 = 0.05x + total free throws made

0.9x - 71 = total free throws made

Now we can substitute the given information into the equation:

0.9x - 71 = total free throws made

0.9x - 71 = 0.05x + total free throws made

0.85x = 71

x = 83.53

So Lamonte attempted a total of approximately 83.53 free throws in the season.

Here's a graph showing the relationship between Lamonte's free throw attempts and the number of free throws he missed, with the x-axis representing the number of free throws attempted and the y-axis representing the number of free throws missed

Answer 2

Lamonte attempted a total of 1,420 free throws in the season.

Explanation:

To graph this on a scale, we can mark 1,420 on the y-axis (moving up or down) and label it as the total number of free throws attempted. Then, we can mark 71 on the x-axis and label it as the number of missed free throws. We can also label the remaining portion of the x-axis as the number of made free throws, which is simply the difference between the total and the missed:

Number of made free throws = 1,420 - 71 = 1,349

The graph would look something like this:
