Question

at one point in a recent season. peyton manning of the indianapolic colts had completed 357 passes this was 62.5% of his attempts. how many attempts did he make?

Answer 1

To solve this you use proportions. So 357 is 62.5% of what? \[\frac{ 357 }{ x } = \frac{ 62.5 }{ 100 }\]
Cross multiply to get 35700 = 62.5x.
Then divide both sides by 62.5 to get x = 571.2. You would probably round it to 571 attempted passes.

Answer 2
