Answer :
If a basketball player made 17 out of 20 free throws at practice then 85% of the free throws did the player miss.
What is Percentage?
percentage, a relative value indicating hundredth parts of any quantity.
Given that a basketball player made 17 out of 20 free throws at practice
We need to find the percent of the free throws did the player miss.
We find this by finding the product of x/100 with 20 which is equal to 17.
x/100 × 20=17
Now we have to find the value of x which is the percentage.
2x/10=17
0.2x=17
Divide both sides by 0.2
x=17/0.2
x=85%
Hence, if a basketball player made 17 out of 20 free throws at practice then 85% of the free throws did the player miss.
