1. A basketball player made 8 out of 50 free throws she attempted which is 16%. She wants to know how many consecutive free throws more in a row she would have to make to raise her overall successful baskets divided by attempts or percent of successful free throws to 60%. (a) Write an equation to represent this situation. (b) Solve the equation. How many consecutive free throws would she have to make to raise her percent to 60%? 1 pt for the correct answer to part (b), 4 pts for showing steps you took to get the correct answer and showing the formula with variable x that you used in part (a). Note: correct answer to part (a) has only one variable, the variable x. Need to set up a ratio and cross multiply to solve for x.
