Question. John hits 70% of his free throws. For every foul he gets 2 shots. He gets fouled 5 times a game. How many free throws does he get if he plays in 80% of the 20 games the team plays?
Answer. 112
What step-by-step reasoning justifies that answer?
Reasoning: John plays in 20 * .8 = 16 games. That means he gets fouled 16 * 5 = 80 fouls. So he gets 80 * 2 = 160 foul shots. So he makes 160 * .7 = 112 free throws.
