Question

Ava is required to take at least 200 shots at basketball practice each week. During the first practice this week, Ava took 80 shots. She has three remaining practices this week, and she plans to take an equal number of shots at each of those practices. Let s represent the number of shots taken at each of the remaining three practices.

Answer 1

She should take 40 shots at each remaining practice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Shots to be taken by Ava = 200 shots

Shots took during first practice = 80 shots

Let,

s be the shots taken on next practice.

Remaining three practices = 3s

According to given statement;

Remaining three practices + Shots took in first practice = Shots to be taken

$3s+80=200\\3s=200-80\\3s=120$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3s}{3}=\frac{120}{3}\\s=40$

She should take 40 shots at each remaining practice.
