Question

A football team played A games last year. They lost B of those games. What was their winning percentage

Answer 1

(A - B)/A x 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

If they played A games last year and lost B of those games, they win the rest of the games, so they win A - B games.

Then, the percentage is calculated as the number of games that they win over the total number of games multiplied by 100, so the winning percentage is

(A - B)/A x 100%
