Question

a hockey player misses 60% of her shots. how many shots must she take before she gets 50 goals?

Explanation:

Calculate the success rate

$$ 100\% - 60\% = 40\% = 0.4 $$

Set up the equation for total shots

$$ 0.4 \times S = 50 $$

Solve for the number of shots

$$ S = \frac{50}{0.4} = 125 $$
