Answer:
He has made 42 field goals this season
Step-by-step explanation:
To find x% of number y, multiply y by [tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex] × y
∵ A field goal kicker makes 84% of the field goals he attempts
→ That means he makes 84% of his total attempts
∵ He has attempted 50 field goals this season
→ That means his total attempts is 50 field goals
∴ He makes 84% of 50 field goals
∵ 84% = 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
∴ He makes 0.84 of 50
∵ He makes = 0.84 × 50
∴ He makes = 42 field goals
∴ He has made 42 field goals this season
