Answer 1

When doing a percent problem, you divide what you have or are comparing to the total. The team won 10 games out of 25. Set up your fraction. You can create a proportion if it's easier to understand.

part = percent

whole 100

10 = ? Since 25 times 4 is 100, you can multiply 10 times 4 and get 40%

25 100

Answer 2

To find the percentage, divide the subset by the total and multiple by 100. For example, in out problem, the subset is 10 games and the total is 25 games.

10/25 = 0.4

0.4 x 100 = 40

Therefore, the baseball team won 40 % of their games.
