Question

A basketball player makes 30 out of 40 free throws. What is his shooting percentage?

Answer 1

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

$30\ of\ 40\to\dfrac{30}{40}=\dfrac{30:10}{40:10}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\text{Convert to the percent. Multiply by 100 with sign}\ \%:\\\\\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot100\%=\dfrac{3\cdot100}{4}\%=\dfrac{3\cdot25}{1}\%=75\%$

Answer 2

For this case, we must calculate the percentage of shots of a basketball player. For this, we make a rule of three:

40 ----------------> 100%

30 ----------------> x

Where the variable "x" represents the percentage of shots of the basketball player.

$x = \frac {30 * 100} {40}\\x = \frac {3000} {40}\\x = 75$

Thus, the player's shot percentage is 75%

Answer:

75%
