Imagine that you are watching a televised game between the Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics. The Bulls’ star player drives to the basket and is fouled. As he stands at the free throw line, the announcer states that he is hitting 78% of his free throws this year. He misses the first shot but makes the second. Later in the game, the player is fouled for the second time. As he moves to the free throw line, the announcer states that he has made 76% of his free throws so far this year.
Can you determine how many free throws this player has attempted and how many he has made this year?
