    X = free throws made Wednesday

    Total attempted free throws = Monday total + Tuesday total + Wednesday total

    Attempted Total = 50 + 10 + 30 = 90

    Overall free throw percentage = 70%

    Total free throws made = 0.7 (90) = 63

    Total free throws made = Monday's free throws made + Tuesday's + Wednesday's

    Monday's free throws made = 72% of 50 =.72 (50) = 36

    Tuesday's free throws made = 6

    Total free throws made = 36 + 6 + x = 63

    x = 63 - 36 - 6 = 21
