<p>I’ve having a hard time figuring out how to do this problem, help would be greatly appreciated 
(It’s from the kaplan 2006 book, by the way)
carolyns basketball team made 1 point, 2 point, and 3 point shots during their last game. twenty percent of their baskets were worth 1 point, 70 % of their baskets were worth 2 points, an 10% of their baskets were worth 3 points. to the nearest tenth of a point what was the average point value of the shots made by carolyns basketball team?
A.) 1.4 B.) 1.7 C.) 1.8 D.) 1.9 E.) 2.0</p>
<p>lets act like they made 10 shots</p>
<p>2 points from 1 point shots (2)
14 points from 2 point shots (7)
3 points from 3 point shots (1)</p>
<p>19/10 = 1.9</p>
<p>you add up 20 (1 pointers), 140 (2 pointers), and 30 (3 pointers) to get 190. now divide it by 100 to find the average, giving you 1.9</p>
<p>answer is D.</p>
