How many passes has John attempted this year?

Answer 1

Answer:

John attempted 500 passes this year

Step-by-step explanation:

To sum up the question, it is basically asking what number has 350 as 70% of it.

We know that:

350 is 70% of some number.

Convert 70% to fraction:

70% = 7/10

Divide:

350 ÷ 7/10 = 500

So 350 is 70% of 500

CHECK THE ANSWER:

10% of 500 is 50

To find 70% of 500, multiply:

50 x 7 = 350

I really hope this helps! Please ask me in case you’re confused.
