Question 3

20 pts
The Indians won 14 out their last 20 games. What percent of their games
did they win?

Answer 1

First write the two numbers as a ratio, 14:20. We know that percent means out of 100, and we also know that 20 is a factor of 100, so let’s divide those numbers. We get 5 * 20 is equal to 100, then we multiply the other side of the ratio(14) by five. At last we get 70:100, which is nothing but 70%. To check multiply 70/100 by 20, and if you get 14 as the product, then we are correct.

Answer 2

They won 70% of their games.

Explanation:

Convert your fraction to a percentage.

Divide 14 by 20, which gets you 0.70.

Then multiply it by 100, which gives you 70.

Now you have a fraction of 70/100.

That's how you get 70%
