Given:
59 goals out of 80
Determine the percentage of your score.
Solution:
Divide the total number of goals by the total number of shots.
= 59/80
=0.7375
Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.7375)(100)
= 73.75%
Final answer:
The percentage of your score is 73.75%
