Question

During soccer practice, the goalie blocked 72% of the shots attempted by the opponents. If the goalie blocked a total of 18 shots, how many total shots were attempted?

Answer 1

Answer: 25

Explanation:

1. Calculate the percentage of shots attempted by the opponents: 72%

2. Convert percentage to a decimal: 0.72

3. Multiply the decimal by the number of shots blocked (18): 0.72 * 18 = 12.96

4. Divide the number of shots blocked (18) by the decimal: 18 / 0.72 = 25

Therefore, a total of 25 shots were attempted.
