Question

During a basketball practice, Mai attempted 40 free throws and was successful on 25% of them. How many successful free throws did she make?

i need explanation im confused

Answer 1

She is sucessful in 10 of the shots

Explanation:

25% of 40 is 10. if you do

25/100 and x/40 you multiply 25 and 40 and get 1000. then you divide 1000 by 100 to get 10

Answer 2

25% or 0.25 means one fourth

so you would have to divide 40/4=10

She made 10 free throws
