A basketball team won 48 out of the 80 games they played over the season
If they lost 30% of their games, what percent of the games did they tie?
No way to determine ties with this data, only won or lost.
To find out the percentage of games they tied, we need to first figure out how many games they lost.
We know that they won 48 out of 80 games. This means they must have lost (80 - 48) = 32 games.
Now, we need to find the percentage of games they lost out of the total number of games played.
The total number of games played is 80, and they lost 32 games.
To calculate the percentage, we can use the formula:
Percentage = (Number of Games Lost / Total Number of Games) * 100
Using this formula, we can find the percentage of games they lost:
Percentage of games lost = (32 / 80) * 100 = 40%
Now, we need to determine the percentage of games they tied.
Since we know that they won 48 games and lost 32 games, we can calculate the remaining number of games that must be ties:
Number of Games Tied = (Total Number of Games - Number of Games Won - Number of Games Lost)
Number of Games Tied = 80 - 48 - 32 = 0
This means that they did not tie any games during the season.
So, the percentage of games they tied is 0%.
Thus, the basketball team did not tie any games during the season.
x/80 = 30/100
then take that answer (x) and subtract it from 80
