9.During the basketball season, Diane took 134 shots and made about 56% of them.

a. How many shots did Diane make?
b. The team made a total of 498 shots. What percent of the team’s made shots did Diane make? (1 point)

24 shots; 15.1%
753 shots; 27%
240 shots; 27%
75 shots; 15.1%
Can someone please help me understand how to do it? I tried a proportion and it didn't come out with any of the answers. Maybe I'm just doing the proportion wrong and plugging in the wrong numbers, but if you can help me with it and understand it, I'll be very grateful

6 answers

a. DS/134=56/100
DShotsmade= .56*134

b. what percent= diane shots made/teamtotal
=.56*134/498 *100
diane shots made=.56*134
So it would be D? Because on A when I did .56x134 I got 75.04 and 75 is one of the answers and on B I got 15.06 and some other numbers, but rounded it would be 15.1. So the answer would be D
correct.
