Here is your answer:

First write multiplication problem because of how many shots they made which were 16:

2 1/2×16/1

First covert 2 1/2 into a improper fraction:

2×2=4+1=5 and keep the button number.

5×16=80÷2=40
2×1=2÷2=1

Which equals 40

Now subtract it but the shoots they missed which is 14:

Now multiply 14 by 3/4:

3×14=42÷2=21
4×1=4÷2=2

Which equals 21/2

Now subtract:

40/1 -21/2=29.5


So that means they both scored 30 points!

But we need the answer to part A.

The reason why he solve the equation wrong is because he multiplied the equation wrong getting to 40/1:

Your answers:

Part A: He multiplied wrong when getting to 40/1.

Part B: They both made 30 points.

Hope this helps.
