Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Convert percentage to decimal
To use the percentage in a calculation, convert (80%) to a decimal. (80%=\frac{80}{100} = 0.8)
Step2: Calculate expected number of made free - throws
Multiply the total number of free - throws by the decimal form of the percentage. Let (n) be the number of made free - throws. (n=0.8\times20)
[ \begin{align*} n&=0.8\times20\ &=( \frac{8}{10})\times20\ &=8\times2\ & = 16 \end{align*} ]
Answer:
(16)
