To determine the percentage of how much she successfully made, let's make a proportion.
We have 17/25 shots made. To have the proportion, let's put x/100, x being the percentage of shots she has successfully made.
Our proportions are 17/25 : x/100
Compare the denominators.
25 and 100, so multiply the numerator by 4 to get the percentage.
17 x 4 = 68. She made 68% of the shots successfully.
If you do not like this method, let's use a different one.
Cross multiply the denominators of each fraction by the numerators of the opposite fraction.
100 x 17, 25 times x.
1700/25x is now our new fraction, so divide both numbers by 25.
1700/25= 68.
x=68.
I hope this helps!
