I don't get your answer.
To determine the average score of the girl's basketball team, we need to calculate the total points scored in each type of shot and then sum them up.
Let's start by calculating the average score from the 3-point shots:
- The team makes 30% of their 3-point shots, which means they make 0.30 * 21 = 6.3 3-point shots per game.
- Each 3-point shot is worth 3 points, so the team scores 6.3 * 3 = 18.9 points on average from 3-point shots.
Next, let's calculate the average score from the 2-point shots:
- The team makes 45% of their 2-point shots, which means they make 0.45 * 30 = 13.5 2-point shots per game.
- Each 2-point shot is worth 2 points, so the team scores 13.5 * 2 = 27 points on average from 2-point shots.
Finally, let's calculate the average score from free throws:
- The team makes 75% of their free throws, which means they make 0.75 * 15 = 11.25 free throws per game.
- Each free throw is worth 1 point, so the team scores 11.25 * 1 = 11.25 points on average from free throws.
Now, let's add up the average scores from each type of shot:
- 18.9 points from 3-point shots
- 27 points from 2-point shots
- 11.25 points from free throws
Adding these together, we get 18.9 + 27 + 11.25 = 57.15 points.
Therefore, the average score of the girl's basketball team is approximately 57.15 points.
