Sue, Janice and Maria play basketball. This season Sue shot 80 times and made 24 baskets.

Janice shot 35 times and made 16 baskets. Maria shot 145 times and made 59 baskets.
3. What proportion would help you calculate the combined percentage of baskets made for
all players?

Answer:

To start off those are horrible stats, 24 made out of 80, sooo sad :-(

Anyways for your answer you want to look at how many shot attemps

were made by all 3 players

Sue = 80

Janice = 35

Maria = 145

80 + 35 + 145 = 260

260 represent how many shots were taken altogether, which is very important.

From here calculate how many shots were made then divide total shots made with total shots taken.

Hope this helps :)
