i made 32 of 50 basketball throws, what persent did i miss

1 answer

To find the percentage of throws you missed, you can follow these steps:

  1. First, determine how many throws you missed: \[ \text{Missed throws} = \text{Total throws} - \text{Made throws} = 50 - 32 = 18 \]

  2. Next, calculate the percentage of missed throws: \[ \text{Percentage missed} = \left( \frac{\text{Missed throws}}{\text{Total throws}} \right) \times 100 \] \[ \text{Percentage missed} = \left( \frac{18}{50} \right) \times 100 = 36% \]

So, you missed 36% of your basketball throws.
