Answer:

7324

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the number of completed free throws out of total free throws

Since he completed 83.5% of them, you find 83.5% of 8772

83.5% can be rewritten as 0.835


8772 * 0.835 = 7324.62

We don't round up because it isn't 1 complete free throw. 0.62 is not 1 complete free throw so round down
