Question

At football practice, Ty made 24 field goals, which was 80% of the field

goals he attempted. How many field goals did he attempt?

Answer 1

30 field goals

Explanation:

80 is 4/5 of 100. To find what to multiply 5 by, I will divide 24/4, since it is 4/5. 24/4 is 6, and 6*5 is 30. So, the answer is 30. To check, I know that 24 has four sixes within it, and 30 has five sixes within it. 4/5=4/5.
