Jorge recorded the scorers of 120 goals - OCR - GCSE Maths - Question 9 - 2017 - Paper 1

To find out how many goals Simon scored, we first determine the goals scored by the other players listed in the table. The total number of goals recorded is 120, and the goals scored by Wayne, Harry, and Obi can be summed up as follows:

• Wayne scored 48 goals.
• Harry scored 5 goals.
• Obi's goals can be calculated from the angle of the pie chart, which is given as 72°.

To find Obi's goals:

Using the proportion, we can say: $\text{Obi's goals} = \left( \frac{72}{360} \right) \times 120 = 24 \text{ goals}$

Therefore, the total goals scored by Wayne, Harry, and Obi is: $48 + 5 + 24 = 77 \text{ goals}$

To find Simon's goals, we subtract this from the total: $\text{Simon’s goals} = 120 - 77 = 43 \text{ goals}$
