Question

Tommy is playing basketball. He shoots the ball in the basket an average of 28% of the time. If Tommy made 7 shots during one of his games, how many total shots has Tommy taken during that game?

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

We know he gets 28% of his total shots and he made 7 shots in the game

We can write the following equation

.28*x=7

Divide both sides by .28

x= 25

He made 25 shots in that game

We can check by doing .28 * 25= 7
