Question

during a basketball game justin attempted 40 shots and made 18. He says he made 35% of the shots is justin correct

Answer 1

No, Justin is incorrect.

Explanation:

1. To find how much 18/40 as a percent is, we just multiply 18/40 by 100:

• 
  `(18)/(40) * 100`
• 
  `(9)/(20) * 100`
• 
  `(900)/(20)`
• 
  `45`

2. As you can see, 18/40 as a percent is 45%, not 35%. Therefore, Justin is incorrect.
