Question

Sally's soccer team won 68% of the games they played. if they won 17 games, how many did they play?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the number of games played be x. 68% of x comes out to 17 games.

Then 0.68x = 17. Mult. both sides by 100: 68x = 1700.

Divide 68 into 1700 to obtain x, the number of games played: x = 25

The team plays in 25 games.
