Question

Alicia shoots A basketball at a hoop hundred times. She hits the backboard and Misses with 2/5 of her shots, hit the rim and misses with 32% of he shots, and make a basket with the rest of her shots. How many baskets does she make?

Answer 1

28 baskets

Explanation:

Total Shots = 100

Backboard and miss = 2/5 of total

That is:

`(2)/(5)*100=40`

Rim and miss = 32% of total

That is:

32% = 32/100 = 0.32

0.32 * 100 = 32 shots

So, miss = 40 + 32 = 72

The rest, she makes, so left:

100 - 72 = 28 shots

Alicia makes 28 baskets (from 100)
