Owen made exactly 72% of his free throws during the first half of the basketball season, and he made six free throws during the second half of the season. For the entire season he made exactly 60% of his free throws. What is the fewest possible number of free throws Owen could have attempted during the second half of the season?

What have you tried? How far did you get? Where are you stuck?Nekkamath said:
Please reply, showing all of your work and reasoning, starting with the variables you used for "the number of free-throws made in the first half" and "...in the second half". Thank you!
