What's the Error? Kate has made 20 free throws in basketball games this year. That is 80% of the free throws she has attempted. To find the total number of free throws she attempted, Kate wrote the equation 80/ 100 = N /20 . What error did Kate make?

Answer:
Total Free Throws Attempted = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
From the statement we can say:
20 free throws is 80% of the total attempted
80% to decimal is:
80/100 = 0.8
If total attempted is N, we can say:
20 is 80% (0.8) of N
We can now write an algebraic equation:
20 = 0.8N
We simply solve this for x, that is the number of free throws she attempted:
20 = 0.8N
N= 20/0.8
N=25
Kate attempted 25 free throws in total.
Kate wrote the equation 80/ 100 = N /20 .It is wrong.
It will be 80/100=20/N
Hope it helps.
