On a soccer team 40% of the goals are scored by the star player. If 70 goals are scored all season, how many are scored by the rest of the team?
40% of the goals are scored by the star player, that means 40% of the 70 goals are scored by the star player during the season.
40% = 40/100 (remember this) = 0.4.
0.4 x 70 = 28
70 - 28 = 42.
The rest of the team scored 42 points in total during the season.
