Question

Kacy is on her freshman basketball team. She makes 48% of her foul shots, leading her team to 14 wins in 17 games for the season.

If Kacy took 78 foul shots during the season, how many shots did she make?

Answer 1

37 shots

Explanation:

48% = 48/100

Set the ratios equal to each other so that we can find "x" the number of shots she made.

48/100 = x/78

78*48 = 3744

3744/100 = 37.44

She made 37 shots
