Question

rest of her shots.
How many baskets does she make?

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate how many shots Alicia misses by hitting the backboard and the rim.

Backboard misses: 0.4 * 100 = 40 shots
Rim misses: 0.32 * 100 = 32 shots

Total misses: 40 + 32 = 72 shots

Now we need to subtract the total misses from the total shots to find out how many baskets Alicia makes:

Total shots: 100
Total baskets made: 100 - 72 = 28 baskets

Alicia makes 28 baskets.
