1. A baseball pitcher won 75% of the games he pitched. If he pitched 43 ballgames, how many games did he win?

He won 32 games.

Explanation:

Another way of expressing 75% is 75/100.

To calculate how many games the baseball pitcher won, we multiply the total of games played (43, in this case) by the percent won:

43 * 75/100 = 32.25 ≅ 32

So the baseball pitcher won 32 games.
