Loreena is the goalie for her hockey team. During one game, she stopped approximately

86.1% of the shots she faced. She stopped 31 shots. How many goals were scored?

-31. 184

5 goals

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question 86.1% of the shots is 31

It is assumed that the shots that were not stopped ended as goals.

Represent the total no shots with H

86.1/100 * H = 31

0.861 H = 31

H = 31 / 0.861

H = 36.00

The number of shots not stopped equals no of goals;

36 - 31 = 5

5 goals were scored
