Step 1:

Total number of free throws = n

Step 2:

If a basket player missed 50% of her/she then he/she made 50%

Step 3:


\begin{gathered} 50\text{ \% of n = 162} \\ (50)/(100)n\text{ = 162} \\ (n)/(2)\text{ = 162} \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ n\text{ = 2 }*\text{ 162} \\ n\text{ = 324} \end{gathered}

Final answer

324
