Question

during a basketball game justin attempted 40 shots and made 18. He says he made 35% of the shots is justin correct

Answer 1

Answer:

No, Justin is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To find how much 18/40 as a percent is, we just multiply 18/40 by 100:

• $\frac{18}{40} * 100$
• $\frac{9}{20} * 100$
• $\frac{900}{20}$
• $45$

2. As you can see, 18/40 as a percent is 45%, not 35%. Therefore, Justin is incorrect.
