Question

The Orioles played 90 games and have won 70% of them. How many games has the team won?

Answer 1

To answer this, all you have to do is multiply 90 by 0.7!
so the final answer is 63 games.

Answer 2

Well, first of all, in mathematics, the word "of" represents multiplication. Also, when ever a number has the percentage sign(%). It means it is divided by 100.That is, its denominnator is 100. So in this case, 70% is 70/100.
    The questions says they won 70% OF the games. That simply means;
70/100×90
 When you calculate that, you will get 63. Which means they won 63 of the games. Hope i helped. Have a nice day.
