Over a long period of time, it has been observed that a professional basketball player can make a free throw on a given trial with probability equal to 0.87. Suppose the player shoots 2 free throws, what is the probability that the player can make at least one free throw? Write your answer in percent with two decimal places. Note that free-throws are independent of each other.
