Mason misses 25% of the free throws he attempts in a season. How many total free throws did he attempt if he missed 52?

Given:

Mason misses 25% of the free throws he attempts in a season.

Number of missed free throws = 52

To find:

The total number of free throws.

Solution:

Let x be the total number of free throws.

Mason misses 25% of the free throws he attempts in a season.

Number of missed throws = 25% of x

Number of missed free throws = 52

Now,

Multiply both sides by 4.

Therefore, the total number of free throws is 208.

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
