The formula for percentage is:
is/of = %/100
In the given problem,
is = ?
of = 25
% = 80
We get,
?/25 = 80/100
"is" is unknown so let "is" be "x"
x/25 = 80/100
We have to cross multiply. Meaning, we will multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction. Therefore,
100x = (80)(25)
100x = 2000
x = 20
The answer is 20. The basketball player is expected to make 20 free throw shots out of 25 in the entire game.
