During practice, a basketball player hits 70% of his free throws. If he missed 12 free throws, how

many free throws did he attempt during practice?

2 answers

so 30% of his shots = 12
.3x = 12
x = 12/.3 = 40

he took 40 shots

check:
70% of 40 = 28
so he hit 28 , must have missed 12
WTF (wow that's fantastic)
