Answer:

B. 6 field goals

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Attempts = 15[/tex]

[tex]Scored = 40\%[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of goals scored

To do this, we simply multiply the number of attempts by the percentage scored.

[tex]Number = Attempts * Scored[/tex]

[tex]Number = 15 * 40\%[/tex]

Convert % to decimal

[tex]Number = 15 * 0.40[/tex]

[tex]Number = 6[/tex]

He scored 6 of his 15 attempts
