I also have this one, if you wouldn't mind helping;

In a basketball free-throw contest, four players take the same number of free throws. Player W makes 33 of 40 his free throws, Player X makes ¾ of his free throws, Player Y makes 85% of her free throws, and Player Z makes 4/5 of her free throws. Which player makes the greatest number of free throws?

Answer 13

33/40=82.5%, 3/4 = 75%, 85%=85% (obviously :)) and 4/5= 80%. 85%>82.5%>80%>75%. Y made 85% of their shots, which is more than the others

Answer 14

So Player Y made the greatest number of shots
