Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of foul shots made by the girl first time = 12
Number of shots missed by the girl first time = 8
Total number of shots played first time = 12 + 8 = 20
Let the number of foul shots made by the girl second time be x
The total number of shots played by the girl second time = 125
Let's set up a proportion,
[tex]\frac{Number of foul shots made by the girl first time}{Total number of shots played first time}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{number of foul shots made by the girl second time}{total number of shots played by the girl second time}[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{12}{20} = \frac{x}{125}[/tex]
Flip the sides of the equation
[tex]\frac{x}{125} = \frac{12}{20}[/tex]
Multiplying both the sides by 125
[tex]\frac{x}{125}*125 = \frac{12}{20}*125[/tex]
Cancelling out the 125's on the top and bottom from the left side
x = [tex]\frac{12}{20}*125[/tex]
=> x = [tex]\frac{1500}{20}[/tex]
=> x = 75
Number of foul shots made by the girl if she played 125 foul shots = 75
