Question

Deion misses 4% of the free throws he attempts in a seaon. How many total free throws did he attempt if he missed 17

Answer 1

Answer: 425

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this problem as 4% of a number equals 17

since in math, the word 'of' usually means multiplication, we can think of it that way.

Also, 4% = 0.04

$x*0.04=17$

$0.04x=17$

$\frac{0.04x}{0.04} =\frac{17}{0.04}$

$x=425$
