What answer do you get?

683 or 0.0014
Yep. I get 683.
And that makes sense, doesn't it. He made a little less than half his shots -- so you know the number he actually shot must be more than 600.

it says incorrect
If the numbers in your problem are correct, then the answer must be right.
The actual number I get is 683.321513, but since we can't have a fraction of a shot, we round it down to 683.
Let's prove it in reverse.
42.3% of 683 = 288.9 = 289
