Question

The Yankees played 80 games and won 64 of them. What percent of the games did they lose?

Answer 1

Answer:20%

Step-by-step explanation

When you multiply 64x100, you'd get 6400. Then you divide that by 80, you get 80. And when you have 80/100, you have 20 left out of the 100. So it is 20%.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Yankees lost 20% of their games.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the percentage of what games the Yankees lost.

=========================================

We need to figure out what percentage of 64 is part of 80 (the winning percentage) first.

We would have to divide 64 by 80 and the multiply the quotient by 100.

$\frac{64}{80} = 0.8 * 100 = 80\%$

The Yankees won 80% of the games.

=========================================

To find the losing percentage we have to subtract 80% from the 100% of the games.

100% - 80% = 20%

The Yankees lost 20% of the games.

=========================================

Hope this helps!
