Answer:

12.5%

Explanation:

Total Score = 168

Regular Season Score = 147

Playoff Game Score = 168 - 147 = 21

Playoff Game percentage = 21÷168 × 100 = 12.5%

Answer:

The answer to your question is 12.5 %

Explanation:

Data

Total points = 168

Points scored in the regular season = 147

Percent of points scored in the playoff game = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the points scored in the playoff game

Points in playoff game = 168 - 147

= 21

2.- Calculate the percent of points scored in the playoff game using proportions

168 points -------------------- 100%

21 points --------------------- x

x = (21 x 100) / 168

x = 2100 / 168

x = 12.5 %
