In inches, the height of the rim is 10 * 12 = 120 inches. Thus, the height that the player needs to be able to reach is 120 + 6 = 126 inches. Without jumping, the player can reach their height plus an additional 22 inches, or a total of 6 * 12 + 22 = 94 inches. Therefore, the player needs to jump 126 - 94 = 32 inches to reach the height required to dunk a basketball.
The answer: 32
Reverse engineering the question: The rim of a standard basketball hoop is 10 feet above the ground. Additionally, most experts will say that a player must be able to reach at least 6 inches above the rim to dunk a basketball. Suppose a basketball player is 6 feet tall and can reach 22 inches above their head using the wingspan of their arms. How high must this player be able to jump to reach 6 inches above the rim to dunk a basketball?

Reasoning and answer: The ones with nuts that they ate was 40% of the box because 80% x .5 = 40%. The ones without nuts that they ate equaled 25% of the box because 50% x .5 = 25%. They ate 65% of the box because 40 + 25 = 65. They left 35% of the box because 100 - 65 = 35. The box had 80 chocolates because 28 / .35 = 80.
The answer: 80
