Answer 1

\(\large \frac{made \space shots}{134}=\frac{56}{100}\)

Can you solve the proportion?

Answer 2

To get the number of shots, multiply the total number of shots by the percentage that she made:
\[134 \times 0.56 = ?\]
Round the answer down to the nearest integer.
Take this number and divide it by 498, the total number of shots her team made, to get her overall percentage of shots made for her team.

Answer 3

72.36 = 72

72 / 498 = .1445

Answer 5

Multiply a decimal fraction by 100 to get percent.

Answer 6

Yes, 0.1445 = 14.45%

Answer 7

But 134 x 0.56 ≠ 72.36. Maybe double-check your math?
