Question

1. matthew scored a total of 168 points in basketball this season. he scored 147 of those points in the regular season, and the rest were scored in his only playoff game. what percent of his total points did he score in the playoff game?

Explanation:

Step1: Find playoff points

Total points = 168, Regular season = 147. Playoff points = \(168 - 147 = 21\).

Step2: Calculate percentage

Percentage = \(\frac{Playoff\ points}{Total\ points} \times 100=\frac{21}{168} \times 100\). Simplify \(\frac{21}{168}=\frac{1}{8}\), so \(\frac{1}{8} \times 100 = 12.5\%\).

Answer:

\(12.5\%\)
