Question

Phil was practicing

his free
throws. He made 18 of his
shots. If this was 30%, how
many shots did he take?

Answer 1

60 shots

Explanation:

Rewrite the problem as an equation, with x representing the total shots he took:

18/x = 0.3

Multiply both sides by x:

0.3x=18

Divide both sides by 0.3:

60
