72 divided by 85 times 200

It would be 72/85=x/200

So you cross multiply: 72*200=85x

Then divide whatever 72*200 is by 85 and you'll get your answer

You need to times 85 to a number that can make it 200. Which you will divide 200/85 and get 2.35 then MULTIPLY 2.35 X 72 and the answer is 169.2.

set up a proportion put 72 over 85 and set it equal to x over 200. cross multiply and solve :)

72/85=x/200

72*200/85=169.411765

of coarse you can't make 0.411765 of a shot so you round it to 169

yo dog i herd you like math so i put some math on you math so you can have math while you doing your math

Dear Abbey,

My girlfriend and I .... OOppss wrong Abbey........Ha ha...just joking

Time to get serious....

You could set up a proportion based on

....shots made

*******************

shots attempted

72...........M

***...=...******

85.........200................Now Cross Multiply

85M = 72*(200)

85M=14400..............Divide both sides by 85

M ~ ~ 169.41

So about 169 shots....

Clear enough ??
