Problema Solution

a football player completed 60.4% of his passes last season. He attempted 229 passes. How many did he complete

Answer provided by our tutors

60.4% of the passes were completed; and

Passes = 229

60.4% = (60.4/100)

Passes completed = 60.4% x 229 passes

                          = (60.4/100) x 229 passes

                          = 0.604 x 229

                          = 138.316 passes

Passes completed = 138 (round down. There is no such thing as 0.316 pass)
