Question

A baseball team has won more than 97% (but less than 100%) of its games in a season.What is the least possible number of games that the team could have played in the season?

Answer 1

if there was 34 games a season each game contributes a percentage of 100/34 = 2.94%

2.94 x 33 = 97

the team plays 34 games and loses 1 game
