Find the number of foul shots Ryan made if he made 60% of the total shots he took
I am not sure how to set up the problem
Is the number of total shots Ryan made a given? Otherwise, there is no way to figure this out.
In any case, if we know that Ryan made 60% of all shots he made, that must mean that the other 40% of shots he made were foul (assuming that this means "missed shots"). All you have to do is take the number of total shots "n" and multiple it by 0.4 which gives you the number of foul shots he made.
