The Tigers lost 15% of the 60 games that they played this season. How many games did they win?
1 answer:
The first step, would be to make the percent a fraction. 15%=15/100.
So, if they played 60 games, and you want to find how many they lost, you would write x/60, when x=games lost.
15 x
___=___
100 60
Simplify the fraction on the left. Divide the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) by 5, leaving you with 3/20.
3/20=x/60
Make the denominators (bottom) similar
9/60=x/60
x=9

Answer:
-11
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert -3 2/3 to -11/3
-11/3÷1/3
Dividing by 1/3 is the same as multipling by 3
so the equation becomes
(-11/3)(3)
=-11
I would say, C.
