Why is this problem 37,1% correct. Sam scored 45 points againd Memphis in an NBA game. He made 13 of 37 shots what was his shooting percentage? Multiple choice test. 37% 37.4% 37.1% 37.3%

To determine Sam's shooting percentage, we need to calculate the ratio of made shots to attempted shots and then convert it to a percentage.

First, we divide the number of made shots (13) by the number of attempted shots (37):
13 / 37 = 0.3514 (rounded to four decimal places)

Next, we multiply this result by 100 to convert it to a percentage:
0.3514 × 100 = 35.14%

Since none of the multiple choice options exactly match 35.14%, we'll need to determine the closest option. The correct answer is 37.1%, as it is the closest option to 35.14%.

Therefore, the correct answer to the multiple-choice question is 37.1%.
