Given:
Last season Steven missed 24% of the free throws in his basketball games.
Free throws in the first two games of this season = 25
His missed free throw percentage holds from last season.
To find:
The number of throws Steven miss during these two games.
Solution:
His missed free throw percentage for this season = His missed free throw percentage of last season = 24%
Free throws in the first two games of this season = 25
So, the number of throws Steven miss during these two games is
[tex]24\%\text{ of }25=\dfrac{24}{100}\times 25[/tex]
[tex]24\%\text{ of }25=\dfrac{24}{4}[/tex]
[tex]24\%\text{ of }25=6[/tex]
Therefore, Steven miss 6 free throws during these two games.
