To estimate how many free throws Alice makes, you can start by finding 81.25% of 21.
To do this, you multiply 21 by 0.8125 (or divide it by 100 and then multiply by 81.25).
21 * 0.8125 = 17.0625
Rounded to the nearest whole number, Alice makes approximately 17 free throws.
Therefore, the closest answer choice would be C. "About 20".
