Explanation:

a. What is the free throw percentage for the Lions?

10 out of 16, so:

10*100%/16 = 62.5%.

The free throw percentage for the Lions is of 62.5%.

b. What is the free throw percentage for the Eagles?

10 out of 27, so:

10*100%/27 = 37.04%

The free throw percentage for the Eagles was of 37.04%.

c. What is the field goal percentage (two-point and three-point shots combined) for the Lions?

25 + 12 = 37 out of 50 + 16 = 66. So

37*100%/66 = 56.01%.

The field goal percentage for the Lions was of 56.01%.

d. What is the field goal percentage (two-point and three-point shots combined) for the Eagles?

9 + 12 = 21 out of 44 + 17 = 61. So

21*100%/61 = 34.43%

The field goal percentage for the Eagles was of 34.43%.

e. How many points did the Lions score?

10 free throws, 25 two's and 12 three's. So

`10 + 25*2 + 12*3 = 96`

The Lions scored 96 points.

f. How many points did the Eagles score?

10 free throws, 9 two's and 12 three's. So

`10 + 9*2 + 12*3 = 64`

The Eagles scored 64 points.
