In a shooting game, 76% of the shots hit the target, and 54 shots missed.
\n" ); document.write( "Percentage of shots missed = 100% - 76% = 24%
\n" ); document.write( "Total Number of shots fired = _______________ ???
\n" ); document.write( "==================================
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"x\" be number of shots fired.
\n" ); document.write( "x-54 hit the target
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x-54 = 0.76x
\n" ); document.write( "0.24x = 54
\n" ); document.write( "x = 54/0.24 = 225
\n" ); document.write( "=======================
