Given:
A basketball player made 55 baskets in a season.
20% of these baskets were three-point shots.
To find:
The number of three-point shots.
Solution:
We have,
Total number of baskets = 55
Number of three-point shots = 20% of total baskets
Now,
[tex]\text{Number of three-point shots}=\dfrac{20}{100}\times 55[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of three-point shots}=\dfrac{1}{5}\times 55[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of three-point shots}=11[/tex]
Therefore, the number of three-point shots did made by the player is 11.
