Question

In a basketball game 15 of 20 foul shots that Michelle attempted were successful. What percent of her shots were not successful?

Answer 1

Work 1:
   Successful Percent:
     15 divided by 20 equals .75
     .75 times 100 is equal to 75
     75%
   Not successful Percent:
     100% minus 75% equals 25%
     25%
Work 2:
     20 minus 15 equals 5
     5 divided by 20 is equal to .25
     .25 times 100 is equal to 25
     25%
