Answer 2

Owen attempted a total of 30 shots

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Owen made 18 shots out of the total attempted shots, in percentage he made 60% of the total shots

To find:

number of attempted shots/ total shots

Solution:

Let's assume the total shots Owen attempted were y

But, only 60% of the total attempted shots were successful

So, 60 % of y shots

= y X 60

         100

But, it is given he made 18 shots out of the total shots

Thus, 18 =  y X 60

                         100

18 = y X 0.6

∴ 18 /0.6 =y

∴ y = 30

Hence, Owen attempted 30 shots during his hockey practice.
