At halftime of a close basketball game, Tara and Emek studied the shooting statistics to help their team plan the second half. The scoreboard showed 20 attempts near the basket with a 65% success rate, 16 attempts from mid-range with a 50% success rate, and 10 attempts from long range with a 40% success rate. Tara converted 65% to 0.65 and calculated that 13 near-basket shots had been successful. Emek found 8 successful mid-range shots and 4 successful long-range shots. Although the team had scored from every area, the near-basket shots had both the highest success rate and the greatest number of successful attempts. Based on the comparison, Tara and Emek suggested creating more chances close to the basket. The team returned to the court with a clear shooting plan.

Hint
Convert 65% to a decimal and multiply it by the number of attempts.
The team attempted 20 shots near the basket with a 65% success rate. Which calculation correctly finds the number of successful near-basket shots?
20 * 0.35 = 720 * 0.65 = 1320 + 0.65 = 20.6520 * 0.65 = 15
Correct! 65% = 0.65, and 20 * 0.65 = 13 successful shots.
Not quite. Multiply the 20 attempts by the decimal equivalent of 65%.

The team made 13 near-basket shots, 8 mid-range shots, and 4 long-range shots during the first half. How many successful shots did the team make altogether?
Correct! The team made 25 successful shots altogether.
Try again. Add the 13 near-basket, 8 mid-range, and 4 long-range successes.

Hint
Multiply 12 by 0.65, then choose the nearest whole number of shots.
In the second half, suppose the team takes 12 more near-basket shots and keeps the same 65% success rate. About how many of those shots should they expect to make?
5 shots7 shots8 shots12 shots
Correct! 12 * 0.65 = 7.8, which is about 8 successful shots.
Not quite. Find 65% of 12 and round the result to the nearest whole shot.
