A baseball team won 50 of the first 92 games played in a season. If the season consists of 152 games, how many more game must the team win to finish the season winning 62 1/2% of games played?
152*0.625=95
95-50=45
152 * 0.0625 = 95
95 - 50 = ?
Right.
To solve this problem, we need to find how many more games the baseball team must win to reach a winning percentage of 62 1/2%.
Step 1: Calculate the total number of games the team needs to win to achieve a 62 1/2% winning percentage.
A winning percentage of 62 1/2% is equivalent to 62.5% or 0.625 as a decimal. To find the number of games the team needs to win, multiply this decimal winning percentage by the total number of games in the season: 152 * 0.625 = 95.
Step 2: Calculate the number of games the team has already won.
According to the information given, the team won 50 out of the first 92 games played.
Step 3: Determine the number of additional games the team needs to win.
To find the number of additional games the team needs to win, subtract the number of games they have already won from the total number of games they need to win: 95 - 50 = 45.
Therefore, the baseball team must win 45 more games to finish the season with a winning percentage of 62 1/2%.
