Round to the nearest percentage point: Gerald made 13 out of the 22 shots he took in the basketball game. What was his shooting percentage?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
To calculate Gerald's shooting percentage, divide the number of shots made (13) by the total shots taken (22) to get the fraction of shots made. Then, multiply this fraction by 100 to convert it to a percentage. The calculation is (13/22) * 100 = 0.59 * 100 = 59%. Therefore, Gerald's shooting percentage is 59%, which corresponds to choice C.
