Let \( x \) be the total number of shots Aaron took. Since he scored 30% of his shots, we can set up the equation:
\[
0.30x = 42
\]
To find \( x \), divide both sides by 0.30:
\[
x = \frac{42}{0.30}
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
x = 140
\]
Therefore, Aaron took **140 shots**.
\[
0.30x = 42
\]
To find \( x \), divide both sides by 0.30:
\[
x = \frac{42}{0.30}
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
x = 140
\]
Therefore, Aaron took **140 shots**.
