Question

John is a quarterback. This year, he completed 350 passes, which is 70%, percent of all the passes he's attempted this year.

How many passes has John attempted this year?

Answer 1

let all attempted passes = x

70% of x = 350

(70/100)*x = 350

7x/10 = 350

7x = 350 * 10

x = (350 * 10) /7

x = 500

John attempted 500 passes.
