Answer: He will miss 57 out of 200 shots

so the answer is 200-57=

**143**

Step-by-step explanation:  The REAL ratio is 2:7 (2 out of 7 shots will miss ---- referring to the hint given)

Solution:

Since

2 : 7 = X : 200

Then we know

2/7 = X/200

Multiplying both sides by 200 cancels on the right

200 × (2/7) = (X/200) × 200

200 × (2/7) = X

Then solving for X

X = 200 × (2/7)

X = 57.142857142857

Therefore

2 : 7 = 57.142857142857 : 200
