Question

During a game, a basketball team scored 38 points worth of two-pointers, 33

points worth of three-pointers, and 8 points worth of free throws. How many
shots did the basketball team make during the game?

Answer 1

Answer: 38

Work Shown:

"38 points worth of two-pointers" means 38/2 = 19 two point shots were made.

"33 points worth of three-pointers" means 33/3 = 11 three point shots were made

"8 points worth of free throws" means 8/1 = 8 free throws were made

In total, 19+11+8 = 38 shots were made

Answer 2

185 Points

Explanation:

38 x 2 = 76

33 x 3 = 99

8 x 1 = 8

78 + 99 + 8 = 185
