Question

Graham made 55% of this three point shots for his basketball team. If he attempted 80 three points shot during the season, how many three shots did he make?

Answer 1

44 three point shots

Answer 2

To find 55% of 80, you need to convert 55% to a decimal or a fraction that can be multiplied by 80 to get the number of three-point shots that he made:

55% = 55/100 = 0.55

Multiply 0.55 by the number of shots he attempted, 80:
$0.55 \times 80 = 44$

Graham made 44 of the 80 shots he attempted.
