For this type of question, first convert the percentage into a decimal. 80% = 0.8. Next, you want to multiply the decimal and the number you are given that represents the total. (Hint- When you see "___% of ____," it means you should multiply.)
0.8*95 = 76.
Therefore, the wildcats made 76 shots.
Hope that helped you.
