Enter the number of two-pointers, three-pointers, and free throws made into the calculator to determine the total basketball score.
Basketball Score Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the total basketball score:
TS = (2P * 2) + (3P * 3) + FT
Variables:
- TS is the total score
- 2P is the number of two-pointers made
- 3P is the number of three-pointers made
- FT is the number of free throws made
To calculate the total basketball score, multiply the number of two-pointers made by 2, the number of three-pointers made by 3, and then add the number of free throws made.
What is a Basketball Score?
A basketball score is the total number of points a team accumulates during a game. Points can be scored through two-point field goals, three-point field goals, and free throws. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
How to Calculate Basketball Score?
The following steps outline how to calculate the total basketball score:
- First, determine the number of two-pointers made (2P).
- Next, determine the number of three-pointers made (3P).
- Next, determine the number of free throws made (FT).
- Use the formula from above to calculate the total score (TS).
- Finally, calculate the total basketball score.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Two-pointers made (2P) = 12
Three-pointers made (3P) = 7
Free throws made (FT) = 9
