Matthew scored a total of 168 points in basketball this season. He scored 147 of those in the regular season, and and the rest were scored in his only playoff game. What percent of his total points did he score in the playoff game?

Answer 1

12.5%

Explanation:

Step1. Determine the points Matthew had during playoff by subtracting points made during regular season from total points in season.

168 points this season

- 147 points regular season

21 points scored in playoff

Step 2. Get the percentage, by dividing playoff points over total points in season

21 ÷ 168 = 0.125

Step 3. Multiply it by 100 to get the percentage equivalent from decimal.

0.125 x 100% = 12.5%
