Question

Randy Johnson was a baseball pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 2002 season. He had a record of 24 wins and 5 losses at the end of the regular season. To find his Won‐Loss percentage, divide the number of games won by the total number of decisions (games he either won or lost). What was Randy Johnson’s Won‐Loss percentage for the 2002 regular season?

Answer 1

The won percentage is 24 / 29 ≈ 83% (24 + 5 = 29 games total) and the loss percentage is 5 / 29 ≈ 17%.
