Question

3. A soccer team played 160 games and won 65 percent of them. How many games did the team win?

Answer 1

Answer:

b.) 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent formula:

x/y = p/100

where x is the fraction, y is the total, and p is the percent

This means:

x = number of games the team won

y = total number of games

p = percent the number of teams won

Let's plug these values into the equation:

x/y = p/100

x/160 = 65/100

Solve by cross-multiplying:

x/160 = 65/100

100(x) = 100x

160(65) = 10,400‬

100x = 10,400

/100     /100

x = 104

Therefore, the team won 104 games.
