Question

a baseball team won 40% of its first 30 games the team then won 65% of its next 60 games. approximately what percent of games did the team win?

Answer 1

46

Explanation:

First you find 10% of 30 because you need to find 40% of 30

30÷10=3

Then multiply that by 4 to get 40%

3×4=12

Next we to need find 65% of 60 so we will find 5% and multiply that by 13

60÷20=3

Then 3 multiplied by 13

3×13=39

Then we do

60+30=90

because we need to find the total number of games they played

After that we add 12 and 39 to find what amount of won games

12+39=51

Finally we will do 90 divided by 100 then multiply that by 51

90÷100=0.9

0.9×51=45.9

Then round that so 46%

Answer 2

56.67%

Explanation:

0.40 × 30 = 12

0.65 × 60 = 39

Of the 90 games they played, they won a total of 12+39 = 51.

The percentage is:

51/90 × 100% = 56.67%
