Question

You missed 4 basketball shots out of 16. What percent did you make?

Answer 1

25%

because 4 goes into 16 4 times so kinda like a dollar if 16 was your dollar and you only got 4 it would be 25%

16 = $1

4 = 25 cents

Answer 2

Hello there! You made 75% of the shots.

So if you want to know how many you DID make, subtract what you didn't make from the total.

16 - 4 = 12.

Now we find what percent 12 is of 16.

To do this:

• Convert into a fraction. 12/16
• Divide to convert into a decimal 12 ÷ 16 = 0.75
• Multiply by 100 to convert into a percent 0.75 x 100 = 75

So, you made 75% of the shots. I hope this helps and have a great day!
