Calculate Success Rate: Finding Percentage of 89 Soccer Shots with 17 Misses

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Calculate the number of goals scored by Emmanuel.

• Step 2: Use the percentage formula to determine the scoring percentage.

• Step 3: Compare the result with the provided answer choices.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Emmanuel's number of goals scored is the total attempts minus missed shots. Therefore, $\text{Goals Scored} = 89 - 17 = 72$.
Step 2: The percentage of successful shots is given by the formula:$\begin{aligned} \text{Scoring Percentage} &= \left( \frac{\text{Goals Scored}}{\text{Total Attempts}} \right) \times 100\% \\ &= \left( \frac{72}{89} \right) \times 100\% \approx 80.90\% \end{aligned}$
Step 3: Rounding this result gives us approximately 81%.

Therefore, the percentage of times Emmanuel scores is $81\%$.
