Question

W

When a team wins W games and loses L games, then its winning
percentage P is given by the formula P = w . This number is
always converted to a decimal. Then the decimal is rounded to the
nearest thousandth. In 12-15, calculate the winning percentage for
each team.
12. The 2005 NCAA women's basketball champion, Baylor
University, had a season record of 33 wins and 3 losses.

Answer 1

91.7 percent.

Explanation:

I found my answer by first adding all games together to get the total amount of games

I got 36

So x/100 = 33/36

I did cross multiplication and got ×=3300/36

I divided 3300 by 36

and then got 91.66666

Since they said to round it to the nearest thousandths, all of the 6's could go up giving me 91.667

I converted the whole number to a decimal and got .91667 and rounded it to the nearest thousand and got

.917 pr 91.7 percent
