Aaliyah misses 5% of the free throws she attempts in a season. How many total free throws did she attempt if she missed 30?

1 answer

Let x be the total number of free throws Aaliyah attempted.

Since she misses 5% of her free throws, she makes 95% of them.

So, 0.95x = x - 30
0.05x = 30
x = 30 / 0.05
x = 600

Therefore, Aaliyah attempted a total of 600 free throws.
