The percentage that best approximates Jackson's overall free-throw percentage is 78%.

How do you find out the free-throw percentage?

The first step is to find the total attempts and total successful attempts:

  • Total attempts: 150 + 24 = 174
  • Total succesful attems: 120 + 16= 136

Now, by using these numbers and a rule of three you can find the percentage:

  • 174 = 100%
  • 136 = x

  • x = 136 x 100 / 174
  • x= 13600 / 174
  • x= 78.1% which can be rounded as 78%
