Question

tyrone made 37 baskets out of 71 attempts. about what percent of his shots did he miss

Answer 1

his percent is 37/71*100%, so he made 52%

Answer 2

Percents are out of 100, so you will need to devide 37 by 71 to get a decimal. You should then get the quotient of 0.436619718... Since you are needing to find the PERCENTAGE of shots Tyrone missed, you will multiply 0.436619718 by 100. You will get the product of 43.66197183...then you will round that to 44% because 43.66 is closer to 44. Hope this helped you.
