Mario makes 6 free throw shots out of his first 10 attempts. What is the least number of consecutive shots Mario must make toincrease his overall percentage from 60% to at least 70%?1 shot4 shots10 shots14 shots

Question
Answer:
Answer:4 shotsStep-by-step explanation:Currently he makes: 6/10 = 60% Letting x = additional free throws to make 70%, we can apply (6 + x) / (10 + x) = 70% Solving for x: (6 + x) / (10 + x) = 7/10 cross multiply: 60 + 10x = 70 + 7x 3x = 10 x = 3 1/3 Since he can not make 1/3 of a shot, the least number of consecutive shots to get to 70% would be 4.
