Margo missed 24.6% of the free throw shots in a season during the season she took a total of 90 free throw shots. which, of the following is the best estimate of the number of free throw shots margo missed?

a. 18
b. 12
c. 22
d. 25

  C.  22

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you ...

  missed = 24.6% × 90

  = 0.246 × 90 = 22.14

The best estimate among the answers given is 22, choice C.

Comment on the problem statement

The percentage given is supposedly computed from the number of shots attempted and missed this season. The ratio 22/90 would give a percentage rounded to 24.4%, not 24.6%.

24.4% of 90 is 21.96, closer to 22.

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

  the correct choice is marked
