Answer:

The team converted 7 3-point shots, 28 2-point shots, and 17 foul shots.

Explanation:

Since a basketball team recently scored a total of 94 points on a combination of 2-point field goals, 3-point field goals, and 1-point foul shots, and altogether, the team made 52 baskets and 11 more 2-pointers than foul shots, to determine how many shots of each kind were made, the following calculations must be performed:

19 x 3 + 22 x 2 + 11 x 1 = 57 + 44 + 11 = 112

9 x 3 + 27 x 2 + 16 x 1 = 27 + 54 + 16 = 97

7 x 3 + 28 x 2 + 17 x 1 = 21 + 56 + 17 = 94

Therefore, the team converted 7 3-point shots, 28 2-point shots, and 17 foul shots.
