You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the basketball team makes 80% of their foul shot, and the ratio of foul
shots to lay ups is 5 to 3; and the ratio of layups to 3 point is 2 to 1.
what will the team's score be if they take 28 four shots.(Assume you mean foul)
:
Find out how many foul shots are made: .8 * 28 = 22.4 points
:
Foul shots to lay-ups =
5L = 3(22.4)
5L = 67.2
L =
L = 13.44 lay ups (26.88 points)
:
Lay-ups to 3 pointers =
2P = 13.44
P =
P = 6.72 3-pointers (20.16 points)
:
Score: 22.4 + 26.88 + 20.16 = 69.44 ~ 69 points scored
