Yes, he earned a Varsity letter because he played in 61% of the games.
Step-by-step explanation:
To know the percent of games he played out of the total, we can do it by dividing the games he played by the total of games and multiply this by 100% to get the percent of games he played:
We solve:
0.611111*100% = 61.11%
So we know that he earned a letter because he played in 61.11% of the games, more than he needed.
Study this carefully. It's a good problem to know how to do. The ancients solved problems by using this method. They started with biggest number they could on the left and multiply each number on the right as they went down (in this case by 2).
