Question

A save percentage in lacrosse is found by dividing the number of saves by the number of shots faced. A lacrosse goalie saved 9 of 12 shots. How many additional consecutive saves must the goalie make to raise his percentage to 0.850?

Answer 1

he would have to take 8 more shots.

Step-by-step explanation:
