Answer:

9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 5% can be written as

5/100

n = 5/100 * 180

n = 5 * 180/100

n = 900/100

n = 9.

5% of 180 is 9

Answer:

He made 9 throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

By analyzing the question, you can infer that they are asking for 5% of the free throws he made (which is 180). So, if you calculate the value using proportions, then you would get 9, so Dylan made 9 free throws out of the 180 he had.
