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,
[tex]\dfrac{25}{100}x=52[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{1}{4}x=52[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 4.
[tex]x=52\times 4[/tex]
[tex]x=208[/tex]
Therefore, the total number of free throws is 208.
