Question

Yesterday Priya successfully made 12 free throws. Today she made 150% as many. How many successful free throws did she make today?

Answer 1

Number of free throws Priya made today = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Yesterday, Priya successfully made 12 free throws

Number of free throws made by Priya Yesterday = 12

Today, she made 150% as many as yesterday

Number of free throws she made today = 150 % of number of free throws made by Priya Yesterday

Number of free throws she made today = 1.5 x number of free throws made by Priya Yesterday

Number of free throws she made today = 1.5 x 12

= 18

Number of free throws Priya made today = 18

Answer 2

18

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the number of successful free throws that Priya made today, we need to calculate 150% of the number of free throws that she made yesterday. So, 150% of 12 is equal to:

`12*150\text{ \% = 12}*(150)/(100)=(12*150)/(100)=(1800)/(100)=18`

Therefore, Priya made 18 successful free throws.
