Q. John is a quarterback. This year, he completed 350350 passes, which is 70%70\% of all the passes he's attempted this year.\newlineHow many passes has John attempted this year?\newlinepasses
  1. Understand Problem: Understand the problem and what is being asked.\newlineJohn completed 350350 passes, which is 70%70\% of all the passes he attempted. We need to find the total number of passes he attempted.
  2. Express Equation: Express the given information as an equation.\newlineLet xx be the total number of passes John attempted. We know that 70%70\% of xx is equal to 350350.\newlineSo, the equation is 0.70×x=3500.70 \times x = 350.
  3. Solve for x: Solve the equation for x to find the total number of passes attempted. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.700.70 to isolate xx. x=3500.70x = \frac{350}{0.70}
  4. Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation to find the value of xx.x=3500.70x = \frac{350}{0.70}x=500x = 500
