guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 25 x \( \frac{30}{100} \) = \( \frac{30 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{750}{100} \) = 7 shots

The center makes 25% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{7}{\frac{25}{100}} \) = 7 x \( \frac{100}{25} \) = \( \frac{7 x 100}{25} \) = \( \frac{700}{25} \) = 28 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
