Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 12.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total points = 168

Points scored in the regular season = 147

Percent of points scored in the playoff game = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the points scored in the playoff game

  Points in playoff game = 168 - 147

                                          = 21

2.- Calculate the percent of points scored in the playoff game using proportions

                      168 points -------------------- 100%

                        21 points --------------------- x

                        x = (21 x 100) / 168

                        x = 2100 / 168

                        x = 12.5 %

Answer 2
