Question

a quarterback made 345 pass completions during one football season. if this was 60% of his attempts,how many passes did he attempt?

Answer 1

60% of his entire attempts = 345
0.60x = 345
x = 345 / 0.60
x = 575 <== total attempts

Answer 2

divide completions by percentage

345 / 0.60 = 575 pass attempts
