14. A basketball player missed \( 25 \% \) of her 52 free throws. How many free throws did the basketball player make?

The basketball player missed \( 25 \% \) of her 52 free throws, which means she missed \( 0.25 \times 52 = 13 \) free throws. To find out how many she made, we subtract the missed shots from the total: \( 52 - 13 = 39 \). So, the basketball player made 39 free throws! Still think free throws are a piece of cake? Well, practice makes perfect! Many players rack up their shooting percentages through repetition. Developing a consistent routine before each free throw can really help boost confidence and accuracy. So next time you're at the free throw line, channel your inner basketball star and visualize that ball swooshing through the net!
