Question

Snapdrage 28. Select values to set up a percent proportion that represents each situ ation. Then solve each problem. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary Situation 1 : A pair of shoes is on sale for 80% of the original price The sale price is $60. What was the original price? Situation 2: Maggie's goal was to collect 60 canned goods for a food drive She actually collected 80. What percent of her goal did Maggie reach? Situation 3: Craig has made 60% of 80 free throw attempts this season. How many free throws has he made?

Explanation / Answer

Situation 1: Let the original price of pair of shoes on sale is "X"

Discounted price at 80% of the original price = 0.8X = $60

Thus X = $75

Situation 2:

Maggie's goal = 60 canned goods

Maggie's collection = 80 canned goods

Percent of her goal maggie reached = (80/60) x 100%

= 133.33 %

Situation 3:

Craig's total throw attempts = 80

Craig's free throw attempts = 60% of total throws

= 0.6 x 80

= 48
