A football team wins 60% of their games. They have 5 games left. If they win all remaining games, what will their final winning percentage be if they have played 15 games so far?
Answer
70 percent
How to solve it
1
Games played: 15
2
Current wins: 60% of 15 = 9 wins
3
After 5 more wins: 9 + 5 = 14 wins
4
Total games: 15 + 5 = 20
5
New percentage: (14 ÷ 20) × 100 = 70%
Hints
