Question

7. A football player has made 80 % of the field goals in his career. If he attempts 5 field goals in a game, Select from below how many is he expected to make?

Answer 1

Percentage of field goals a football player is expected to make = 80%

Number of field goals he attempted in a game = 5

Number of field goals he will be expected to make :

= 80% of the number of field goals he had attempted

= 80% of 5

`= \tt (80)/(100) * 5`

`= \tt (80 * 5)/(100)`

`= \tt (400)/(100)`

`\hookrightarrow \color{plum} \tt4 \: field \: \: goals`

Thus, number of field goals he is supposed to make = 4

▪︎Therefore, the football player is expected to make 4 out of the 5 field goals he attempted.
