A basketball player made 75% of her free throws in 10 games. She had 36 free throw tries. How many did she make?



Answer :

If she had 36 free throw tries and made 75% of them, you would multiply 36 by 0.75.  Percentages are really just parts out of 100, so 75 in decimal form would be 0.75 (out of 1.0).

36 x 0.75 = 27   ( the same as 3/4 of 36 )

So, the basketball player made 27 free throws.
