Question

While practicing her foul kicks for soccer, Louisa made 85% of her shots. If she made 51 shots, how many shots did she kick in total?

Answer 1

The answer is 60 because you would do 100 divided by 85 multipled by 51

Answer 2

Answer:

the exact answer is 58.65

Step-by-step explanation:

since she made 85% of her shots, that means in total from her 51 shots, she made 115% more than 51 (you add 15% to 100%). The 15% is from the difference of 100% and 85%. You then change 115% to fraction form (1.15) and multiply it by the amount of shots made, getting you 58.65. Since you can't make a fraction in terms of a real life scenario like this, you prob need to round or something. Diff teachers want diff things
