A quarterback steps back to throw 80 times in a game. 30 percent of the time he does not get a pass thrown. Half of the times that he does not throw the ball he is sacked for a loss. How many times is the quarterback sacked for a loss in the game?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
No pass thrown:80(.30) = 24. Sacked:24 / 2 = 12.
Thus, the answer is 12.
