Question

Daniel and Ismaela are kicking soccer balls at a goal. Daniel makes 12 of his 15 shots in the goal. Ismaela takes 20 shots at the goal and makes the same percent of shots as

Daniel. How many of Ismaela's shots make it in the goal?

Answer 1

Daniel made 12 of his 15 shots in the goal, which means he made 12/15 = 0.8 or 80% of his shots.

If Ismaela makes the same percentage of shots as Daniel, then she also makes 80% of her shots.

Ismaela took 20 shots at the goal, so the number of shots that make it in the goal is:

0.8 x 20 = 16

Therefore, Ismaela made 16 of her shots in the goal.
