​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 points were converted by the player.

80% of 24 free throws were to be converted to score atleast 19 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming,

1 free throw = 1 point

62.5% of 24 free throws is

62.5/100 * 24 = 0.625 * 24 = 15 points.

--------------------------------

if the player needs to convert 19 points, what percent of the 24 free throws he needed to convert.

19 is x% of 24?

19/24 = x/100

x = 19/24 * 100

x = 1900/24

x = 79.16

x ≈ 80%
