Question

In a basketball skills competition, Corson successfully made 5 of 7 shots and Charleigh made 3 of 5

shots
Determine which player had a better performance at the skills competition.

Answer 1

Corson had a better performance at the skills competition.

Explanation:

In order to determine which player had a better performance at the skills competition, we need to find the percentage performance of both the players.

Therefore,

Corson's percentage performance

`=(5)/(7)* 100= 71.43%`

Charleigh's percentage performance

`=(3)/(5)* 100= 60%`

`\because` Corson's percentage performance > Charleigh's percentage performance

So, Corson had a better performance at the skills competition.
