Percentage is win/total number of games
53/84=63.2%. 84/53.000... This is division. It goes .6
57/90=63.3%-------------------------------------504 subtract from 530 and get 26, bring down 0 and divide 84 into 260. It goes 3 times with 8 left over. Bring down the 0 and have 80, and 53 goes into it 1 time with 27 left over, which rounds to .2. All of these are done the same way. It is converting a fraction to a decimal.
60/92=65.2%
55/96=57.3%
51/93=54.8%
63/102=61.8%
65/105=61.9%
60/105=57.1%
