Answer:

He has made 42 field goals this season

Explanation:

To find x% of number y, multiply y by
(x)/(100)
(x)/(100) × y

∵ A field goal kicker makes 84% of the field goals he attempts

→ That means he makes 84% of his total attempts

∵ He has attempted 50 field goals this season

→ That means his total attempts is 50 field goals

∴ He makes 84% of 50 field goals

84% = 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84

∴ He makes 0.84 of 50

∵ He makes = 0.84 × 50

∴ He makes = 42 field goals

He has made 42 field goals this season
