To find out how many free throws Jatzel made, we first need to calculate how many shots he missed.
3/5 of his shots hit the rim and missed, so that's 3/5 * 100 = 60 shots.
17% of his shots hit the backboard and missed, so that's 17/100 * 100 = 17 shots.
60 + 17 = 77 shots in total that Jatzel missed.
He shot a total of 100 free throws, so he must have made 100 - 77 = 23 shots.
Therefore, Jatzel made 23 free throws. The answer is B) 23.
