Question

A football team won 75% of 120 games in a season. How many games is that?

Answer 1

Answer: 90 games
Step by step explanation:

50% of 120 is half of it so that would be 60
10% of 120 is just 12
5% is 6
12x7=70% which is 84
Add 5% which is 6
84+6=90 so they played 90 games

Answer 2

90 games

Explanation:

Of the 120 games the football team played, they won 75% of them.

Remember that in mathematics, "of" almost always means to multiply. Here, that means we must multiply 75% by 120:

75% * 120

Remember also that % just means divided by 100, so 75% = 75 / 100. So:

75% * 120 = (75/100) * 120 = 9000/100 = 90 games
