9) One baseball team played 34 games throughout their entire season. If this baseball team won 22 of those games, then what percentage of their games did they win? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. 10) At a local department store, slacks have been reduced to $27. This price is at 69.2% of the original price for slacks. Given this, what was the original price of the slacks? Round your answer to the nearest whole number if necessary.

64.7% and $39

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 9:

This means that the baseball team won 22/34 of their games through their entire season. In order to find the percentages of game they won, you divide 22 by 34, which comes out to 0.64705..., which becomes 64.705%. Rounding this to the nearest tenth, this percentage becomes 64.7%. Therefore, the percentage of games their baseball team is 64.7%.

Question 10:

We can represent this problem as the proportion:

with x being the original price of the slacks.

We cross multiply to solve this equation. 27 times 100 is 2700. Next, we divide 2700 by 69.2, which comes out to 39.017341. Rounding this to the nearest whole number, this value comes out to 39. Therefore, the original price of these slacks is $39.
