Question

Gabriella made 5% of her free throws over the season. If she shot 180 free throws, how

many did she miss?

Answer 1

5% made means that out of every 100 shots she made 5 and therefore she missed 95 of them. You divide 95 by 100. To get percentage of missed shots in decimal form. It would be 0.95. Then multiply by the number of shots she took. Your answer would be 0.95 x 180
