Question

A basketball player attempted 340 shots and made 68 of them At this rate. how many attempts will he have to do to successfully make 17 baskets.

Answer 1

85

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the percentage of successful baskets, so it is calculated as:

`(68)/(340)*100\text{ \% = 20 \%}`

Now, 20% of the baskets are successful, so if 17 represent 20%, the 100% is represented by:

`100\text{ \%}*\frac{17}{20\text{ \%}}=85`

So, he has to do 85 attempts.
