Answer 1

A baseball pitcher won 80% of the games he pitched.

If he pitched 35 ballgames, how many games did he lose?​

First, let us find out how many games he won.

$\frac{80}{100}\times35=28$

So he won 28 games out of total 35 ballgames.

So the number of games he lose is given by

$35-28=7$

Therefore, he lost 7 games.
