the total number of games 7+5+3=15
therefore 15 is 100% of the games played
since they won 7 games out of the 15 total:
you now know that 15 is 100% so you can substitute x for 7 and 100 for 15
the equation now becomes: 7/15=x/100 now solve for x
7 times 100 = 15x
700 = 15x
100/15 = x
46.67 =x
therefore the bulldogs won 46.67% of the games they played

Ok here I usually times by 100 to get 150, then 15 is 10 percent, and 1.5 is 1%
They won 70 games out of 150, leaving 80 games either drawn or lost,lets say.
75 is 50% so we need to find the value of 10, which is 1/15 of the total.
Divide 10 by 1.5 = 6x1.5=9 then the remaining 1= 0.66 of 1.5 so 6.66% is the value of 1 or 10.
Ok I know this is long! then, if 6.666%x15%=100% then 75 is 50% +5 which must be 3.333%(half of 10 which is 6.666%) =80=53.333% the remainder of which, is your answer........

To get the percentage of games won you take the number or games won and divide that by the total number of games played (7/15). You will get the decimal .4666666. Move the decimal point to the right two places to get 46.6666 and that is the percentage.

They played a total of 15 games. Of the 15, they won 7.
7/15=.467
To convert to a percentage, multiply by 100.
.467*100=46.7%
The Bulldogs won 46.7% of the game they played.
