Answer:
1. [tex]\frac{x}{15}[/tex] = 0.85
2. x = 12.75
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we do 12 divided by 15, which is 0.80 (80%). The question is asking how much consecutive free throws is needed to raise it to 85%.
So, and equation we make is:
[tex]\frac{x}{15}[/tex] = 0.85, where x represents the number of free throws.
Now, we solve.
Multiply each side by 15 to solve for x.
x = 12.75
12.75 consecutive free throws is needed to raise the percent to 85%.
