Question

During the basketball season Tyrone made 37 baskets out of 71 attempts. About what percent of his shots did he miss.

Answer 1

Subtract the number he made from the attempt to get how many shots he missed.

71 - 37 = 34

He missed 34 shots.
 Now divide the number of shots missed by the total number of attempts:

34 / 71 = 0.479 = 47.9%  Round to 48% missed.
