Answer:

Total Free Throws Attempted = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement we can say:

20 free throws is 80% of the total attempted

80% to decimal is:

80/100 = 0.8

If total attempted is N, we can say:

20 is 80% (0.8) of N

We can now write an algebraic equation:

20 = 0.8N

We simply solve this for x, that is the number of free throws she attempted:

20 = 0.8N

N= 20/0.8

N=25

Kate attempted 25 free throws in total.

Kate wrote the equation 80/ 100 = N /20 .It is wrong.

It will be 80/100=20/N

Hope it helps.
