Question

a soccer player has made 3 of his last 24 shots on goal, or 12.5%. How many consecutive goals does he need to raise his shots-on-goal average to at least 20%?

Answer 1

12 he needs 12 to raise it

Answer 2

20 percent of 24 is 4.8 shots. Let's round that to 5 since it's awkward to shoot 4.8 shots.

he needs to make 2 consecutive goals.
5 / 26 is 19.23% 

5.2 is 20 % of 26 which is awkward so just round down to 5 shots
