Question

Yankees won 103 games, but lost 59 games. Find the winning percentage

Answer 1

To find the winning percentage you want to use the equation:

 

P = amount of wins / total amount of games

 

P = 103 / (103+59)

 

P = 0.6358

 

To get to percentage times the value by 100

 

P = 0.6358 * 100 = 63.58%
