Respuesta :

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In basketball, a three-point field goal will give you 3 points, a two-point field goal will give you 2 points, and a free throw will give you 1 point.

Given that they scored 114 points:

  • 26 x 2 = 52 points by two-point field goals
  • 23 x 1 = 23 points by free throws made
  • 114 - 52 - 23 = # points by three point field goals

Solve for points made by three-point field goals:

  • 114 - 52 - 23
  • 39

The question is asking to solve for the number of three-pointers made, so we divide 39 by 3 to find the number of three-point field goals made.

  • 39/3
  • 13

13 three-point field goals were made.
