Question

Coach Thomas has a player who made 9 free throw shots out of 15 in tryouts.To make a team,a player must be able to shoot 65% of the free throws.Will this player make a team?

Answer 1

The player will not make the team.

Explanation:

To find the percentage he is shooting, divide the number he has made by the number he has taken.

9/15 = 60%

60% is less than the needed 65%
