Question

Alicia shoots a basketball at a hoop 100 times. She hits the backboard and misses with 2/5 of her shots, hits the rim and misses with 32% of her shots, and makes a basket with the rest of her shots how many baskets did she make?

Answer 1

but she also misses 32% of hershots added to that

Answer 2

Out of the 100 shots, Alicia hits the backboard and misses with 2/5 of them, which means she makes 3/5 of those shots. So, she makes 100 * (3/5) = 60 baskets from hitting the backboard.

She also hits the rim and misses with 32% of her shots, meaning she makes 68% of those shots. So, she makes 100 * 0.68 = 68 baskets from hitting the rim.

Adding the baskets she made from hitting the backboard and the rim, Alicia made a total of 60 + 68 = 128 baskets.

Answer 3

Apologies for the oversight. Let's calculate the number of shots she misses from hitting the rim.

Out of the 100 shots, Alicia hits the rim and misses with 32% of them, which means she makes 68% of those shots. So, she makes 100 * 0.68 = 68 baskets from hitting the rim.

Therefore, Alicia misses 32% of the shots from hitting the rim, which is 100 * 0.32 = 32 shots she misses from hitting the rim.

Adding the baskets she made from hitting the rim (68) to the shots she missed from hitting the rim (32), Alicia made a total of 68 - 32 = 36 baskets from hitting the rim.

Now, let's add this to the baskets she made from hitting the backboard: 60 (backboard) + 36 (rim) = 96 baskets she made in total.

Therefore, Alicia made 96 baskets from the 100 shots she took.
