Question

At hockey practice, Talia took 35 shots, and made 60% of them. She had hoped to make 25 shots. By how many shots did she fall short of her goal?

Answer 1

4 goals short

Explanation:

To find how many shots Talia made - multiply the total number of shots (35) by 60% (or 0.60)

35*.60 = 21 shots made

Subtract her goal (25) by the shots actually made (21)

25-21 = 4 shots from her goal
