Samantha was training to play basketball. She threw the ball 19 times. Gabrielle wrote down all Samantha's throws and for all the ones who got in the basket she added 5 points. For all the throws that weren't successful, she got rid of 3 points. At the end Samantha got 55 points. How many times did Samantha throw the ball in the basket successfully?

Respuesta :

Answer:

15 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 x 14 = 70 points

3 x (19-14) = 3 x 5 = 15 points

70 points - 15 points = 55 points.
