Given:
Total games played: 20
Total games won: 14
Determine the percentage of the games won.
Solution:
In order to determine the percentage of the games won, we divide the total games won by the total games played.
= 14/20
= 0.7
Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.7)(100)
= 70%
Final answer:
70% of the total games were won
