Question

Caroline misses 20% of the free throws she attempts in a season. How many total free throws did she attempt if she missed 69?

Answer 1

345 free throws

Explanation:

To find the total number of free throws Caroline attempted, we can set up the equation: (total free throws) x 0.20 = 69 (missed free throws)

Solving for the total free throws:

(total free throws) = 69 / 0.20

(total free throws) = 345

So Caroline attempted 345 free throws in the season.
