If 38% of a basketball team's 3-point
attempts were successful and the team
scored 1,824 points from 3-pointers in
one season, how many 3-point attempts
did the team make during the season?
Use u to represent the total number of
3-point attempts.

Respuesta :

1,600 3-point attempts  did the team make during the season .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , If 38% of a basketball team's 3-point  attempts were successful and the team  scored 1,824 points from 3-pointers in  one season . We need to find  how many 3-point attempts  did the team make during the season . Let's find out:

Let u  represent the total number of  3-point attempts . According to question , only 38% of u are the attempts which to score of 1,824 . More precisely , only 38% of u are the attempts which is equal to ⇒ [tex]\frac{1824}{3}[/tex] attempts i.e.

⇒ [tex]\frac{38u}{100}=\frac{1824}{3}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{38u}{100}=608[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{38u(100)}{(38)100}=608(\frac{100}{38})[/tex]

⇒ [tex]u=16(100)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]u=1600[/tex]

Therefore, 1,600 3-point attempts  did the team make during the season .
