Problem
The Mason High Cougars need to win 3 out of the next 12 baseball games to make it to the playoffs. The coach wants to know what percent of the games they need to win. Find an equivalent ratio where the total number of games is 100 . \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{} & + \\ \hline Wins & 3 & \\ \hline Total Games & 12 & 100 \\ \hline \end{tabular}
Solution
Step 1 ：\(\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}\)
Step 2 ：\(\frac{1}{4}\times100=25\)
Step 3 ：\(\textrm{To make it to the playoffs, they need to win 25% of the games.}\)
