Answer: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The free throw average is 75%, wich means that from 100 attempted free throws, they make 75.
To solve the problem you can use a simple rule of three:
If for every 100 attempted free throws the knicks make 75 free throws, then how many attempts did they do if they made 12 free throws?
[tex]\frac{100 attempts}{75 throws} =\frac{x}{12throws} \\x=\frac{12*100}{75} \\x=16[/tex]
Then, if the knicks made 12 throws last night, that means they made 16 attempted throws.
