let x be the total number of shots taken
then ( 44/100)x must be an integer
(11/25)x must be an integer
the number must end in 25 or 00 to be divisible by 25
so within your domain given, the number must be 325
They must have taken 325 shots
check:
44% of 325 = .44(325) = 143
and 143/325 = .44 = 44%
