Question

Gabriella is a high school basketball player. In a particular game, she made some two

point shots and some three point shots. Gabriella scored a total of 32 points and
made 4 more three point shots than two point shots. Determine the number of two
point shots Gabriella made and the number of three point shots she made.

Answer 1

Gabriella made 4 two points shots and 8 three point shot

Explanation:

Total point she scored=32

4 x 2 = 8 points

8 x 3 = 24 points

Total=32 points

1 step:

4 x 3 = 12

first we subtract 12 points that are due to more 4 three points shots.

Remaining points = 32 - 12 = 20

divide 20 into equally;

2 x 2 x 2 x2 = 8

3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 12
