Question

Mr. Laing and Mr. Cho we’re having a shoot out during lunch. Mr. Laing scored 8 times and missed 13. Mr. Cho scored 7 goals of his 20 shots. Who was the better shooter?

Answer 1

(# scored ÷ # shot) x 100= %

Mr. Laing:
=8/(8+12) x 100
= 8/20 x 100
= 0.40 x 100
= 40% accurate

Mr. Cho:
=7/(7+20) x 100
= 7/27 x 100
= 0.259 x 100
= 25.9% accurate

ANSWER: Mr. Laing was the better shooter with 40% accuracy.

Hope this helps! :)
