Question

Steve’s baseball team played 33 games and won 15 of them. What percent did the team win? *

Answer 1

Approximately 45%.

Explanation:

We know that Steve's team played in total 33 games. Out of the 33, they won 15 of them.

So, as a fraction of the total won over the total games, we can write:

`\displaystyle(15)/(33)`

So, by dividing, the percent the team won is:

`\displaystyle(15)/(33)=0.\overline{45}=0.454545...\approx0.45=45\%`

The team won approximately 45% of its games.
