Answer:
(12 + x)/(15 + x) = 85/100
Step-by-step explanation:
12/15 = 0.8
She currently has an 80% rate.
To raise it, she needs to make x shots. Since she makes all x shots, we add x to both the number of shots made and attempts.
She will make 12 + x shots in 15 + x attempts.
We want that rate to be 0.85 which is the same as 85%.
(12 + x)/(15 + x) = 85/100
(12 + x)/(15 + x) = 17/20
20(12 + x) = 17(15 + x)
240 + 20x = 255 + 17x
3x = 15
x = 5
Answer:
The equation is (12 + x)/(15 + x) = 85/100.
