space below. Remember to check your solution.

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

Out of 25 games, they won 14

Fraction won = won / total = 14 / 25

Percent won = won /total * 100 % = 14/25 * 100 = .56 * 100 % = 56 %

To find the number of games lost

25-14 = 11

Fraction won = won / total = 11 / 25

Percent won = won /total * 100 % = 11/25 * 100 = .44 * 100 % = 44 %

To check your work, the percent total should be 100

56+44 = 100
