Short Response To earn a varsity letter on the baseball team, you must play in 60% of the games. Derek played in 11 out of 18 baseball games. Did he earn q Varsity letter? Explain your reasoning

Answer 1

Answer:

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:

$\frac{11}{18}*100%$

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.
