Jared and Zach are practicing their free throws. Jared attempted x shots and made 75% of them. Zach attempted 10 more shots than Jared did and made 80% of them. Together, they made a total of 101 shots. Which equation represents this situation? Select the correct answer. 0.75x = 0.8(x + 10) 0.75(x + 10) + 0.8x = 101 0.75x + 0.8x + 10 = 101 0.75x + 0.8(x + 10) = 101
