jennifer is a 75% free-throw shooter.
if she shot 44 free-throws this year how many did she miss?
:
The total shots are 100%, so if she made 75%, she missed 25%, right?
therefore
.25 * 44 = 11 shot missed
:
:
To confirm this, find how many shot she made:
.75 * 44 = 33 shots made
then to check this
11 + 33 = 44 shots total
