Question

Buddy and his Step-brother Michael are in a snowball fight! They get hit by 85% of the snowballs.

If there were 200 snowballs thrown, how many were they hit by?

Answer 1

Answer: 170

Explanation:

Since they get hit by 85% of the snowballs and there were 200 snowballs thrown, the number of snowballs that hit them will be gotten by multiplying 85% by 200. This will be:

= 85% × 200

= 0.85 × 200

= 170

Therefore, 170 snowballs hit them
