1. **State the problem:** Calculate the total shots made and attempted for each player, then find the shot percentage as a decimal, percent, and fraction for each player.
2. **Formula:**
- Total shots made = sum of shots made in Field Goal, Free Throw, and 3 Point Field Goal.
- Total shots attempted = sum of shots attempted in Field Goal, Free Throw, and 3 Point Field Goal.
- Decimal shot percentage = \frac{\text{Total shots made}}{\text{Total shots attempted}}.
- Percent shot percentage = Decimal \times 100.
- Fraction shot percentage = Simplified fraction of \frac{\text{Total shots made}}{\text{Total shots attempted}}.
3. **Important rules:**
- When simplifying fractions, divide numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
- Percent is decimal multiplied by 100.
4. **Calculations:**
**Kareem Abdul-Jabbar:**
- Total made = 15837 + 1 + 6712 = 22550
- Total attempted = 28307 + 18 + 9304 = 37629
- Decimal = \frac{22550}{37629}
- Simplify fraction by GCD(22550,37629) = 1 (no simplification)
- Percent = 0.5993 \times 100 = 59.93%
**Karl Malone:**
- Total made = 13528 + 9787 + 85 = 23400
- Total attempted = 26210 + 13188 + 310 = 39708
- Decimal = \frac{23400}{39708}
- GCD(23400,39708) = 12
- Simplified fraction = \frac{\cancel{23400}^{1950}}{\cancel{39708}^{3319}}
- Percent = 0.5893 \times 100 = 58.93%
**Kobe Bryant:**
- Total made = 11719 + 1827 + 8378 = 21924
- Total attempted = 26200 + 5546 + 10011 = 41757
- Decimal = \frac{21924}{41757}
- GCD(21924,41757) = 3
- Simplified fraction = \frac{\cancel{21924}^{7308}}{\cancel{41757}^{13919}}
- Percent = 0.5251 \times 100 = 52.51%
**Lebron James:**
- Total made = 12216 + 1810 + 7290 = 21316
- Total attempted = 24248 + 5268 + 9917 = 39433
- Decimal = \frac{21316}{39433}
- GCD(21316,39433) = 1 (no simplification)
- Percent = 0.5407 \times 100 = 54.07%
**Michael Jordan:**
- Total made = 12192 + 581 + 7327 = 20100
- Total attempted = 24537 + 1778 + 8772 = 35087
- Decimal = \frac{20100}{35087}
- GCD(20100,35087) = 1 (no simplification)
- Percent = 0.5729 \times 100 = 57.29%
5. **Final answers:**
| Player | Total Made | Total Attempted | Decimal | Percent | Fraction |
|------------------|------------|-----------------|----------|---------|-------------------|
| Kareem Abdul-Jabbar | 22550 | 37629 | 0.5993 | 59.93% | \frac{22550}{37629} |
| Karl Malone | 23400 | 39708 | 0.5893 | 58.93% | \frac{1950}{3319} |
| Kobe Bryant | 21924 | 41757 | 0.5251 | 52.51% | \frac{7308}{13919} |
| Lebron James | 21316 | 39433 | 0.5407 | 54.07% | \frac{21316}{39433} |
| Michael Jordan | 20100 | 35087 | 0.5729 | 57.29% | \frac{20100}{35087} |
