Question

An archer misses 60% of his shots. How many shots must he make before he gets 100 hits ?

Answer 1

Answer:

• He must make 250 shots before he gets 100 hits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• An archer misses 60% of his shots.

To Find:

• How many shots must he make before he gets 100 hits?

Let us assume:

• He must make x shots before he gets 100 hits.

Finding the number of shots:

Total shots = Shots missed + Shots hit

⟿ x = 60% of x + 100

⟿ x = 0.6x + 100

⟿ x - 0.6x = 100

⟿ 0.4x = 100

⟿ x = 100/0.4

⟿ x = 250

Hence,

• He must make 250 shots before he gets 100 hits.

Answer 2

Answer:

Archer must make 250 shots before he gets 100 hits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

An archer missed 60% of his shots.

To find :-

How many shots must he make before he gets 100 hits?

Solution :-

It is given that an archer misses 60% of his total shots, and we are asked to find that how many shots must he make before he gets 100 hits.

Let us take the total shots to be x, then the missed shots will be 60% of total shots, that means 60% of x and 100 hits should be added to the percent of shots which are missed since the question states how many shots must be made before he gets 100 hits.

x = (60% of x) + (100)

x = (60/100) × x + (100)

x = (0.6)x + 100

x = 0.6x + 100

[1 - 0.6 = 0.4]

0.4x = 100

x = 100/0.4

x = 250

Hence, archer must make more 250 shots before he gets 100 hits.
