Question

A soccer player makes 85% of her penalty kicks during her career. If she scores 51
times on penalty kicks, how many penalty kicks did she attempt?​

Answer 1

Answer: 60 total penalty kicks

Step-by-step explanation:

She makes 51 = 85% of her penalty kicks. If 51 = 85% of x, how much is 100% (total penalty kicks)?

51 = 0.85x

x = 51/0.85 = 60 total penalty kicks
