Question

Please help.
Four players from the NBA and their career 3-point percentage are listed below. 3-point percentage is calculated by dividing the number of 3-pointers the player makes by the number of 3-pointers he attempts. If Steph Curry attempted 25 3-pointers in his last game, how many can we assume he made?

Answer 1

Answer:

We can assume that the number of 3-pointers he made in his last game was 10 3-pointers

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we have;

The 3-point percentage rate for Stephen Curry = 43.5 successful made out of 100 attempts

The 3-point percentage rate for LeBron James = 34.5 successful made out of 100 attempts

The 3-point percentage rate for James Harden = 36.4 successful made out of 100 attempts

Whereby Steph Curry attempted 25 3-pointers in the last game he played and where 'x' represents the number of 3-pointers we can assume he made, we have;

x = 43.5% of 25

$\therefore x = \dfrac{43.5}{100} \times 25 = 10.875$

Given that 'x' can only have whole number values, and the 3-point percentage is calculated using a larger number of attempts than 25, we can assume he made 10 3-pointers in his last game

Answer 2

The 3-pointers the Stephen Curry made in last game is 10, if he attempted 25 3-pointers.

It is given that the four players from the NBA and their career 3-point percentages are listed below in the table

It is required to find the number of 3 pointers he made if Steph Curry attempted 25 3-pointers in his last game.

What is percentage?

It is defined as the ratio or number presented as fraction of 100, the symbol of percentage is %.

We have in the question that:

The 3-point percentage rate for Stephen Curry is 43.5% out of 100 attempts.

We know that,

$\rm 3-point \ percentage = \frac{Number \ of \ 3-pointers}{Number \ of \ 3-pointers \ attempts}$

3 - point percentage for Stephen Curry = 43.5%

Number of 3-pointers he attempts = 25

Putting these values in the above formula, we get:

$\rm 43.5 \%=\frac{Number \ of \ 3-pointers}{25} \\\\\rm \frac{43.5}{100} \times25 = Number \ of \ 3-pointers\\\\\rm Or \ number \ of \ 3-pointers = 10.875$

But the number of 3-pointers can be a whole number, so we can assume that the 3-pointers is 10.

Thus, the 3-pointers the Stephen Curry made in last game is 10, if he attempted 25 3-pointers.
