Question

Haley practiced her free throws at the basket ball court and shot 25 times. She made 11 of her shots. What percent of her shots did she NOT make?

Answer 1

WE know that

• She threw 25 times.

,

• She made 11 of them.

To know the percentage number that 11 presents, we just have to divide

$\frac{11}{25}=0.44$

Then, we multiply by 100 to express it in percentage

$\text{0}.44\cdot100=44$

Therefore, Haley made 44% of the shots.
