Question

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

Answer 1

so do 30/100=12/x  because he makes 70% of his free throws and he misses 30% of his shots. So 30/100 is equal to the amount of shots he misses/ 12/x would show how many shots he missed out of x. if you solve the equation you would find that the answer is 40.
