B 6
C 4
D 15
.35 * 20 = ___
To find out how many shots Brianna will make if she attempts 20 total shots, we need to calculate 35% of 20.
Step 1: Convert 35% to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 35/100 = 0.35
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the total number of shots attempted: 0.35 * 20 = 7
Therefore, Brianna will make 7 shots if she attempts 20 total shots.
Thus, the correct answer is option A: 7
To find the number of shots Brianna will make if she attempts 20 total shots, we can use the percentage she made.
First, we need to determine what 35% of 20 is. To do that, multiply 20 (the total shots attempted) by 0.35 (35% represented as a decimal):
20 * 0.35 = 7
So, Brianna will make 7 shots if she attempts 20 shots.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) 7.
