Question
A baseball pitcher won 80% of the games he pitched. If he pitched 35 ballgames, how many games did he win?
- 16
- 18
- 28
- 35
Hint:
1. When a certain quantity is divided into 100 equal parts and a certain part of it is to be expressed in terms of the whole quantity, that portion is called as a percent, represented with a % sign.
2. Percentage winnings = Number of games won / Total number of games played * 100.
The correct answer is: 28
Given-
Percentage winnings = 80%
Total number of games pitched = 35
To find-
Number of games won
Solution-
We know that-
Percentage winnings = Number of games won / Total number of games pitched * 100
∴ 80 = Number of games won / 35 * 100
∴ 80 * 35 / 100 = Number of games won
∴ 28 = Number of games won
Final Answer- Option 'c' i.e. '28' is the correct answer to the given question.
