Answer 1

Sarafina accurately completed 34.3434% of the hits assigned to her. Also you could say that I hit 3.4 out of every 10 hits I make.

Answer 2

Sarafina had 34 out of 99 hits.

We need to find her average. We know

34 hits  out of  99 hits in all

x = Average value  

34 = x * 99

34 = 99x

Divide both sides by 99

$\frac{34}{99} = \frac{99x}{99}$

 0.3434343 = x (0.343434… is a repeating  , so we need to round off to the nearest hundreds)

Average = 0.34
