Question

13. Throughout the season, a baseball team won 130 games and lost 90 games. What percent of the totalgames were won? Round to the nearest percent

Answer 1

The team won 130 games and lost 90 games. This means that the total games played is

`\begin{gathered} 130+90 \\ =220 \end{gathered}`

Percentage of games won becomes

`\%\text{ of game won =}\frac{\text{number of games won }}{\text{ number of games played}}*(100)/(1)`

So, we have

`\begin{gathered} \%\text{ of game won =}\frac{\text{1}30}{\text{2}20}*(100)/(1) \\ =(13)/(22)*100 \\ =59.090909 \end{gathered}`

Hence the answer is 59%
