18/40 simplified to 9/20.

9/20 is. 45, or 45%.

While Dorell did not make exactly 40% of the shots he made, which I assume is what the question is asking, he did make at least 40%. 45% is at least 40%, after all.

So, he is not right if I understand the question to ask if he made exactly 40% of his shots.
