They lost
Explanation:
To find the percentage of the games they lost, you first have to find the percentage of the games they won.
Find the percentage of the games they won:
Then subtract the amount of games they won from 100%. This is because you want to find the amount of games they lost out of all the games they played (i.e. 100%).
Therefore, they won
Explanation:
If the Storms won
So the question is: what percent of 22 is 6?
To turn that question into an equation, here are some helpful tips:
- "Is" means "equals", so wherever you see "is", use a
#=# sign. - "Of" means "multiplication", so use a
#xx# sign when you see that word. - Use variables for the things you do not know. Since the percent is not known, I will call it
#x# . - A percent of a number is the same as that number over 100. Since the percent is not known, it will be represented by
#x/100#
