Video Summary

Paul shot at a target 17 times over two soccer sessions. He hit 60% of his shots in the first session and 75% in the second session. Using variables for the sessions (`a` for the first and `b` for the second), we know `a + b = 17`, and `3/5 of a` and `3/4 of b` must be integers. After testing possibilities where `a` is a multiple of 5 and `b` a multiple of 4, only `a = 5` and `b = 12` fit the conditions. Thus, in the second session, Paul hit the target 9 times.
