It has been given in the question that Mary's team had lost 30% of the total of 20 games. There has been no ties for this team. It is required to find the number of matches that Mary's team lost.
Total number of games played = 20
Percentage of games lost by Mary's team = 30%
Number of games lost by Mary's team = (30/100) * 20
= 3 * 2
= 6
So Mary's team lost 6 games in all. I hope this is the answer you were looking for. The process is easy once you understand the words of the problem.
60%, 900/1500 would be .6 and in terms of percent would be 60.
