Martin made 12 out of 40 shots during the basketball game. What percent of his shots did he make?

30 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

12/40=0.3

0.3=30 percent

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a percent, use this equation:

x/100 = n/t

where x is the percent, n is the select number of things, and t is the total number of things

Substitute:

x/100 = n/t

x/100 = number of shots Marin made/number of shots attempted

x/100 = 12/40

Now, we need to cross multiply, or multiply the numerators by the denominators of the other fraction, and vice versa.

Multiply:

x/100 = 12/40

x (40) = 40x

100 (12) = 1200

40x = 1200

Now, divide both sides of the equation to find the value of x.

Divide:

40x = 1200

/40 / 40

x = 30

Now we have the percent is fraction form: 30/100

To make it a percentage, simply take the numerator and add the % sign.

Therefore, Martin made 30% of his shots.
