Question

5) In a basketball game, Sally is the top

scorer with 45% of the team's points.
If the team scored 120 points in total,
how many points did the rest of the
team score?

Answer 1

The answer is 66 points

Answer 2

They scored 66 points

Explanation:

Sally scored 45% out of the 100%

And there are 120 points in all.

To find the rest of the teams points you have to subtract Sally's points:

100% - 45% = 55

So to find this out you solve for x (points):

55/100 = x/120

100x = 6,600

100x = 6,600

100 100

x = 66
