Hanley made 14 out of 35 shots in his last basketball game. what percent did he shoot ?

40%

Step-by-step explanation: To find out what percent of shots Hanley made in the last basketball game, we need to write 14/35 as a percent.

To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. So to write 14/35 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 14/35 with a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

So we have

Now, we can use cross products to find the missing value.

1,400 = 35n

÷35      ÷35   ← divide by 35 on both sides of the equation

   40 = n

This means that Hanley made 40% of his shots last basketball game.

To find the percentage of how many shots Hanley made, we can divide how many shots he made to how many shots he took.

14 ÷ 35 = 0.4

Multiply by 100 to find the percentage.

0.4 * 100% = 40%

Thus, Hanley made 40% of his shots.

Best of Luck!
