    Hello! Derrick’s coach is correct. This is because if you set up a proportion like this: 48/60 = x/100, cross multiply to get 4,800 = 60x, and divided 60 by both sides, x = 80. That justifies that Derrick made 80% of his free throws.

    You divide 48 into 60 to get 0.8. 0.8 as a percentage is 80
