Answer:
Total Free Throws Attempted = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
From the statement we can say:
20 free throws is 80% of the total attempted
80% to decimal is:
80/100 = 0.8
If total attempted is x, we can say:
20 is 80% (0.8) of x
We can now write an algebraic equation:
20 = 0.8x
We simply solve this for x, that is the number of free throws she attempted:
[tex]20 = 0.8x\\x=\frac{20}{0.8}\\x=25[/tex]
Kate attempted 25 free throws in total
