Question

a field goal kicker makes 4 of 5 extra points during a game. what percent of extra points were made?

Answer 1

4/5 = you divide it so you get 0.8 which is 80%

Answer 2

Given the goal kicker has made 4 out of 5 of the extra points

So that is written as $\frac{4}{5}$

Now we need to find what percent of 5 is 4

To convert any fraction to its percentage, we simply need to multiply 100 to it

Now we have

$\frac{4}{5} X 100$

= $\frac{4X100}{5}$

=$\frac{400}{5}$

=80

So the answer is 80%

The goal kicker has made 80% of the 5 extra points
