Question

During one season a professional basketball player tried 420 shots and made 294 of them. what percent of his shots did he make?

Please do long division thank you

Answer 1

70%

First we divide the number of shots he made by the total number of shots he took. 294 divided by 420 gets us 0.7 (please see the attached image for the long division). We then multiply this 0.7 by 100 to convert this into a percentage. 0.7 times 100 gets us 70. So, the player made 70% of the shots he took.

Answer 2

70%.

Explanation:

That would be (294/420) * 100

= 0.7 * 100

= 70%.
