A hockey player will miss 60% of her shots. How many shots does she have to take to get 50 goals?

Correct! Wrong!

Explanation:
We must calculate the total number of shots the hickey player must take in order to score 50 goals. According to reports, she misses 60% of her shots. We do, however, need to know how many shots she takes. She must hit 100% of her shots, which equates to 40% of her total.
So, in other words, 40% of what = 50?
Step 1. Rewrite the problem using the percent formula. The percent formula is below:
We are looking for the whole number of shots needed so that is where we will put x.
Step 2. Cross multiply.
Step 3. Simplify the right side of the equation. 100 × 50 = 5,000.
Step 4. Simplify by dividing both sides of the equation by 40.
