Answer: He makes 261 baskets to earn 45 points.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of points = 2 + 3 = 5

Number of baskets = 29

if he makes 45 points,

We need to find the number of baskets.

According to question, we get that


(5)/(29)=(45)/(x)\\\\5x=45* 29\\\\x=(45* 29)/(5)\\\\x=261

Hence, he makes 261 baskets to earn 45 points.
