Question

5. Sarah made 17 out of 25 free throws during practice. What percentage of free throws did she NOT make? A. 68% B. 58% C. 32% D. 36%​

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 32%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent 17 is of 25.

17 of 25 can be written as:

17/25

To find percentage, we need to find an equivalent fraction with denominator 100. Multiply both numerator & denominator by 100

17/25 * 100/100

= (17 * 100/25) * 1/100 = 68/100

Therefore, the answer is 68%

If Sara made 68% of her free shows, that means she didn't make 32% of her free throws (100 - 68 = 32).
