Question

Emily made 14 out of 19 shots during basketball practice. About what percent of her shots did she make?

Answer 1

To find what percent a part is of the whole, divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100.

Here, 
part = 14
whole = 29

percent = 14/29 * 100

Half of 29 is 14.5
We have 14, so we are very close to half, so the answer is about 50%.
