Question

Sally's soccer team played 25

Answer 1

The team lost 32% of the games.

The team won 17/25 games. To find the number of games they lost, we would have to subtract 17 from 25. 25 - 17 = 8. This means the team lost 8/25 games. There are two ways I can think of. You can simply multiply 8/25 by 4/4 because 25 times 4 would equal 100. This would give you the percentage of 32. Another way is to write it like this: 8/25 = x/100. You would cross cancel to get 800 = 25(x) and divide both by 25. This would also give the answer of 32.
