Question

On Monday, Jolene played basketball and made 75% of the shots she took. If she missed 7 shots, how many shots did she take? Show your work.​

Answer 1

missed shots = 7 = 25% since 75% are successful

proportionality table

25% ...............7

100% ........... = 7 x 100% : 25% = 28

total = 28 shots

Answer 2

She took 28 shots, 7 shots would be the remaining 25% so you multiply it by 4 to get 100% or 7 × 4 = 28
