Question

danjs · Answer

Wins / (Wins+Loss)   or wins/total games

anonymous · Answer

so 162/ 98?

anonymous · Answer

sorry 98/162

anonymous · Answer

which equals 60.50%?

danjs · Answer

they won   98 out of (98+64) games

98/(98+64)   or   98/162

danjs · Answer

that is a decimal value out of 1

percent is out of 100, so multiply by 100/100

60.5/100,  ,  or you can say 60.5%             

per'cent'  --- per one hundred

see that's what I thought the answer was being as it said, "Round to two decimal places as needed" but then I typed in 60.50% and it said that it was wrong, that the correct answer was 60.49%. How could that be?

danjs · Answer

yeah that 98/162 = 0.60493

the percent is 100 times that, 

60.493%   round to 2 decimals ----60.49%

danjs · Answer

sorry i just used bantaray value, didnt calculate it myself

anonymous · Answer

oh got it! I was only rounding one place. thanks

danjs · Answer

you can always just figure

98/162 = x/100

x is the percent value

98 out of 162 is the same as 'what number' over 100
