Answer: Wes shot the best because his percentage was 40% while Landon (36%) and Tim's (32%) percentage were lower than Wes's.

Step-by-step explanation: The best way to find out who shot the best is by first changing the denominator of the fraction to 25. This way, we can compare easily.

Landon:

36/100=9/25=36%

Wes:

2/5=10/25=40%

Tim:

32%

Hope this helped! ;)
