Question

7. A football player has made 80 % of the field goals in his career. If he attempts 5 field goals in a game, Select from below how many is he expected to make?

Answer 1

Percentage of field goals a football player is expected to make = 80%

Number of field goals he attempted in a game = 5

Number of field goals he will be expected to make :

= 80% of the number of field goals he had attempted

= 80% of 5

$= \tt \frac{80}{100} \times 5$

$= \tt \frac{80 \times 5}{100}$

$= \tt \frac{400}{100}$

$\hookrightarrow \color{plum} \tt4 \: field \: \: goals$

Thus, number of field goals he is supposed to make = 4

▪︎Therefore, the football player is expected to make 4 out of the 5 field goals he attempted.
