Question

Liam practices free throws every morning before he goes to school. This morning, Liam made 42 out of 50 free throws. Which equation can be used to find x, the percent of free throws Liam made?

Answer 1

84%

Explanation:

Given that :

Total number of throws = 50

Total throws made = 42

The percentage throws made, x :

x = (number of throws made / total throws) * 100%

x = (42 / 50) * 100%

x = 0.84 * 100%

x = 84%
