    245 free throws

    Explanation:

    x will be number of times Audreys makes a shot, and let y be total number of the shots.

    x/y =.875

    (x+13) / (y+20) =.860

    Let solve for x in equation 1

    x =.875y

    We will plug the for x in the equation 2

    (.875y+13) / (y+20)

    =.860

    .875y + 13

    =.860y + 17.2

    .015y = 4.2

    y = 280

    Audreys has taken 280 shots.

    We will Plug that back into the equation 1 in order to find out how many Audreys made.

    x/280 =.875

    x = 245

    Hence:

    Audreys made 245 free throws
