Question

On a soccer team, 40% of the goal are scored by the star player on the team. If 70 goals are scored are scored all season then how many are scored by the rest of the team.

Answer 1

You can actually take 40% of 70 and get 28, then subtract that from 70, which gives you 42 goals.

Answer 2
