28%28\%
35%35\%
70%70\%
75%75\%
80%80\%
Answer: E
Concepts:percentage
Small hint:
First find how many hits were not singles
Big hint:
Singles =35−(1+1+5)= 35 - (1+1+5); divide by 3535 and convert to a percent
Solution:
The non-single hits number 1+1+5=7,1 + 1 + 5 = 7, so the singles number 35−7=28.35 - 7 = 28.
The fraction of singles is 2835=45=80%.\dfrac{28}{35} = \dfrac45 = 80\%.
Thus, the correct answer is E .
