Question

A baseball pitcher won 80% of the games he pitched. If he pitched 35
ballgames, how many games did he win?

Answer 1

The whole is 35, percent is 80%.
Let a represent the part.
Write a proportion
find the cross products to solve for a
a/35=80/100
100a = 35 ×80
100a = 2,800
a = 2,800 ÷ 100= 28 is the answer.
hope this will help.
