Question

John makes 15 goals for every 25 shots he attempts. How many

goals can you expect John to miss if he shoots 75 shots in a
season?

Answer 1

45 goals

Explanation:

g = # of goals

s = # of shots

15g = 25s

45g = 75s

25 x 3 = 75

15 x 3 = 45

Answer 2

• 30 missed shoots expected

================

Ratio of goals per shoots:

• g : s = 15 : 25

If the number of shoots is 75, then number of goals is proportional:

• g : 75 = 15 : 25
• g = 75 × 15 : 25
• g = 45

Number of missed shoots:

• 75 - 45 = 30
