You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For this problem, you put the first serves achieved (33) over the total first serves (55). So you have 33%2F55.
=============
From here you reduce 33%2F55=3%2F5. Lastly you divide to come up with a final answer of .600
==============
Hope that helps. Let me know if you need more explanations.
