In a carnival game, players get 5 chances to throw a basketball through a hoop. If 7 out of 20 players made all 5 baskets, how many players out of 400 would you expect to make all 5 baskets?

Work Shown:

7/20 = 0.35 = 35% of the 20 players made all five baskets.

If this trend holds up, then we should expect 35% of the 400 people to make all five baskets.

35% of 400 = 0.35*400 = 140

We expect about 140 people will make all five baskets.

Note how 140/400 = 0.35 = 35%

Through another alternative method, we can solve like this

7/20 = x/400

7*400 = 20*x ... cross multiply

2800 = 20x

20x = 2800

x = 2800/20 ... dividing both sides by 20

x = 140 which is the same result as before
