A hockey player scores a goal on 35% of her attempts, then you can use the proportion:

20 attempts is 100%

x goals is 35%.

Mathematically you can write that [tex] \dfrac{20}{100} =\dfrac{x}{35} [/tex].

Therefore, [tex] x=\dfrac{20\cdot 35}{100} =\dfrac{700}{100}=7 [/tex].

If she has 20 attempts, then you can expect that the player score a goal 7 times.
