Question

A basketball team took a total of 100 shots. One player took 70% of all 100 shots, and
made a basket 60% of the time. How many shots did this player miss?

Answer 1

The player took a total of 70 shots and missed about 28 shots.

Percentage

Percentage is used in expressing a fraction number or decimal in fraction of 100. It is expressed using the '%' sign.

Given a total shot of 100, since the player took 70% of the shot, hence:

Total shot taken by the player = 70% of 100 = 0.7 * 100 = 70 shots.

Total shot shot missed = (100% - 60%) of 70 = 40% of 70 = 0.4 * 70 = 28 shots.

The player took a total of 70 shots and missed about 28 shots.
