Question

Sally's soccer team played 25 games and won 17 of them. What percent did the team win?

Answer 1

`68%`

Explanation:

`(100%)/(x%)=25/17`

Multiply both sides of the equation by `x`

`(100/x) * x = (25/17) * x`

`100 = 25/17 * x`

Divide both sides of the equation by `25/17` to get `x`

`100/(25/17) = x`

`(100 * 17)/25 = x`

`x=68`
