A baseball team won 40% of its first 30 games. The team then won 65% of its next 60 games. Approximately what percent of the games did the team win?
A. 47
B. 51
c. 53
D. 57

To find the answer, you need to multiply the percentage by the number of total games. To multiply the percentage, you need to transform it into a decimal. To do that, simply move the decimal in 40 two spaces to the left. Now you have 0.4. multiply 0.4*30=12. So out of 30, the team won 12 games. Do the same thing with 65% of 60 games. 0.65*60=39. So out of 60, the team won 39. Add the amount of games won total to get 51. Remember the technique in bold! Hope this Helps!
