Question

From the years 1988 through 1996 Steffi Graf won the annual U.S open tennis championships five times and Wimbledon seven times what percent or both tournaments combined during those 9 years was Steffi Graf the women’s champion?

Answer 1

66.67%

Explanation:

If there is 1 US open tennis championship and 1 Wimbledon per year, there are a total of 9 US open and 9 wimbledon from 1988 to 1998. So in total there are 18 championships.

Steffi Graf won 5 US open and 7 Wimbledons = 12

Essentially we want to know, 12 is what percent of 18? We can solve this by:

`(12)/(18)*100=66.67`

Hence, 66.67% won
